Wandering Soul

Sometimes I wonder
if I am not just
lost in an
ever continual dream
of which
I cannot wake
I will not wake
because you are here
with me
This is what it feels like to be a ghost
To wander
Throughout the darkness
In search for the light
Like a lover looking for her mate
Like the night searching
For the day
Or the day as he searches
For his night
The sun finds his moon
The day finds his night

Muse

Let me bask in your warmth
Until the moon appears
And the moment of
Inspiration
Inspires you to enter me
And wash amongst the
Colours of the twilight
And the night rushes in
So quickly
As the moon
Feels his ebb and flow
And pulls him in
Deeper
Until she consumes him wholly
And in the dawn
She gives birth to him
To let him shine
Another day in all
His glory
Until the night falls
And he comes to
Her again
Eternally

Spirit

Tap into your dreams
I’ll protect you from your nightmares
I will fill your head with imagination
In the form of pictures made from words
I will dance with you
Through all eternity
From each life to the next
The body that holds me is just that
Can’t you get beyond that and look inside?
Look into my core, see my soul
We know each other
Do not be afraid of me
Surrender to me

Waves in the Hourglass

I am captivated
The tide
The everlasting dance
Between the ocean
And his shore
Led by the moon
Reflecting the sun
He spills over her
And pulls a
Piece of her back
With him

The point where day becomes night
And night becomes day
The moment when two opposites
Become one
Dagaz

As it is in all things
Balance
Equality

When the sun hits
The horizon of the ocean
Does it go into her?
Does it exist within the sea?
And does the moon rise
Up from the ocean as
Her tides pull her to be
With them until they
Are with her once more?

And beneath her ocean
Beneath her sea,
Swim the fish that rise each night
Into the stars
The constellation of Pisces
All encompassing emotion

The Dream

THE DREAM
I had the same dream again. I look out into the blackness of the night and down into the water. It is calm and mirror like. Only the full moon reflects back at me. It moves behind a cloud and all is dark. I lean over the edge of the unsteady wooden dock railing and peer down into the water. Its blackness becomes transparent as slowly I am able to make out facial features of the reflection staring back at me. The features become clearer and clearer as I realize they are not of my own reflection, but rather of someone else. Someone on the other side. I am helpless to pull myself away from looking at her eyes. She rises closer and closer to the surface and I see her. I extend my arm to help her and her arm emerges out of the water and grabs hold of mine. Her grip is not one of being helped out, but rather she pulls me in. She pulls harder. I grip tightly onto the wooden beam of the dock and lose my footing as it gives way. As I fall, I fall in slow motion. The decent of the fall feels like hours. She pulls me in and pulls me under. I fear for my life, but look into her eyes and feel calm. I can breathe underwater. She points to the surface of the water and I look up to see a mass of people peering down. Only they are not trying to help. I realize she did not pull me under, but I’ve been pushed in. I feel her hands hold mine, but she refuses to let go. I do not struggle. I understand why she’s there. She is an elder. And the people on the dock are laughing at their murder. Yet I do not blame them. They are only doing what they believe is right. They are doing what they’ve been told. She holds my hands and I understand that it is not my fault for being who I am. I’ve done nothing wrong. They can only take away my body, but never my soul. My soul returns life after life, until they understand that I am not the one they want to harm. I am the one that can help them. And until they understand that, they will keep drowning me.

And then I wake up, only to live another life.

Love eternal

Love eternal
I’ll be right beside you forevermore
Death can’t unchain us
Life can’t bind us
Only love can keep us

Rapture

RAPTURE

lay still
i crawl above you
like a tigress in heat
my tongue travels
to take you places
you've never been

my kisses are hungry
wanting
ravishing
sending you into rapture
like biting into a luscious peach
i pull you in and cast my spell
you've never had a kiss like this before
i breathe my soul into you
and take yours in return
forever haunting
for no other kiss can compare
do you dare?
do you let me in?
want to know what rapture tastes like?
want me to show you?
then kiss me
kiss me and you will know
what it is like to kiss an angel
to kiss destiny
to kiss aphrodite herself
kiss me and you will know
what a goddess feels like

moonlight falls across your body
and prowling
i inch my way down you
licking my way
until i meet your horizon
and dive into your ocean
wave after wave
you crash into me
harder and harder i pull
thunderous tides
the shores shake
and release their shells upon me
they are the seeds
let not a drop be wasted

i've captured you
mounting you i take you in me
lowering slowly
the grip tightens
the breath quickens
the night beckons
and i become your star
follow me
and i will lead you home

tantric breath
becomes one
we become one
soul to soul
body to body
breath to breath
kiss to kiss
rapture

Spirit of the Wolf

the spirit of the wolf
that hungers in the night
listening for the howls that beckon...
listening for the call

there is none that hunger for you more than she

the full moon she beckons
if you want her power
just ask for it

be lost in her ever lit gaze
and catch her when
she's ripe for when
she looks away
she's cold
as
ice

until the tides move
and pull her back
moment after moment
ebb and flow
throughout eternity

i've known you since then
still screaming for you
on my knees
i wait
impatiently

love is the key
the portal is the kiss
breathe into me
never let me go

possession of your
immortal spirit
i am haunted

i hunt
for
only
you

only you can answer my call
and clear away the sorrow
of the loneliness
my soul endures

until we meet again
in death
and my soul
can breathe life
into you
once more

Breathe

Ancient Tantric legends say that it was the lovemaking between Lord Shiva, as the embodiment of pure consciousness, and the Goddess Shakti, the embodiment of pure energy, that resulted in the creation of the earth, moon and stars, the animals, plants, and humans. The joining of these sacred opposing forces created the entire universe.

According to the teachings of Tantra, sexual energy has tremendous healing and magical power that can transform the world, our relationships, and ourselves.

Tantra tells us that our sexuality is a sacred agent of transformation. We know from our own life experience that sexual pleasure takes us out of time, the chatter of our mind stops, and there is only the exquisite now. Science tells us that during orgasmic lovemaking between committed partners a wide range of biochemical substances are released by the brain, including endorphins and serotonin. These chemicals cause a natural high, enhance feelings of relaxation, and create a profound sense of well being. This is where true healing takes place. In this tension free, deeply relaxed state, the boundaries between you and your beloved dissolve.

Offering natural nourishment and support for the energy and creativity of eroticism, herbal aphrodisiacs can help increase, enhance, stimulate, and maintain existing physical desire, and thus nourish sexuality. All cultures and peoples of the world have used, and continue to use, aphrodisiacs.

Aphrodisiacs are defined here as plant substances that affect the mind as well as the body. Their use is documented to at least 60,000 years ago. Some aphrodisiacs gently nourish a lagging libido; others kick it into high gear. Used ethically, aphrodisiacs can be appreciated as a source of joy; plant spirits that help us celebrate our love for life. They are traditionally used in a variety of ways.

Some aphrodisiacs are consumed as teas and infusions, decoctions, syrups, tinctures, mead and other beverages. Others are eaten as spices, food, pills, and capsules. Aphrodisiacs can be burned as incense or smudge. Some are used as oils, salves, and ointments for massage and external stimulation.

Herbs and other substances that are used to enhance and nourish sexuality have been regarded as sacred throughout millennia. Use them to nourish your love life in honor of all who have used them before you! And remember that the true source of your desire comes from your love and connectedness, which provide the foundation of our sexual lives.

Proven aphrodisiacs include rose, honey, chocolate, cannabis, angelica, ginseng, opium and many culinary spices. Essential oils that stimulate sexuality include rose, sandalwood, ylang/ylang, patchouli, cinnamon, and vanilla.
