I cannot compare myself to those who came before me or to those who come after me…
All I can do
is leave an imprint of my presence
on your subconscious
so that even when you’re not thinking about me,
you’re thinking about me.
I am permanent marker
You cannot erase me
Did you think it would be that easy…
to forget
the map that you
carved on my vessel
on your voyage home
as you navigated your way
through my tunnels,
my canals,
lost deep
in the ocean of my scent
heavy rains fall on bamboo leaves
that quench parched soil
I soak it all in as you suck me back to
a throwback moment in time where…
my heart tugs strings,
inhaling melodic sounds
drunk off tainted skin..
Ancient hearts and modern minds
dance to the timeless rhythms of the past,
the tantric beats of our love muscle,
an exercise we’re both fluent in…
my preferred tongue
As I open up
like a black hole, allowing you
to swallow me whole.

Love is the whole.
We are only pieces.
Love is the sea of no end.
We are only a drop.
Without Love, even the stars
Are eclipsed, and extinguished.
Don’t keep Love away from your Soul,
So that your good deeds may bear fruit,
And keep growing.
Fall in Love. Forget names and titles.
Reason is powerless in the expression of love.
Love alone is capable of revealing the Truth,
And being a lover.

Those who don’t feel this love
Pulling them like a river,
Those who don’t drink dawn
Like a cup of spring water
Or take in sunset like supper,
Those who don’t want to change,
Let them sleep!
This love is beyond the study of theology,
That old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
Sleep on!

so much yumminess in this poem, dios mio.
carved on my vessel
on your voyage home
as you navigated your way
through my tunnels,
my canals,
lost deep
in the ocean of my scent
AND
the tantric beats of our love muscle,
an exercise we’re both fluent in…
my preferred tongue
As I open up
& allow you to…
swallow me whole.
Nena, this piece right here, dim lights, some drums in the background. You need tp perform this just like that!
