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

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.
