A Taste Of Tantric Fire

A Taste Of Tantric Fire



Beyond six degrees of separation
the rifts of time evanesce,
the checkerboard of creation
pulls itself into a vortex of dreams,
I resolve myself near heaven and hell's
perpendicular edge  
on the dark side of the moon,
still carrying my own bucket of Light
I fall off,
my Dragon Lover
catches me in the prelude of time
behind the Great Eastern Sun
of paradox and
sublimation, sex and desire
You
open my burning flesh
with a flash of insight
a solemn nocturne
deep in my heart.

we dissolve into the taste of fire
the crucible of alchemy
the begging bowl of harmony
balanced once again
on silent tongues

a meditation gong is struck

and the light is all around me.

Makes we wonder how we’re

Makes we wonder how we're *related* Mark. ;-) "Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is an average of six "steps" away from each person on Earth." from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation ~Anna

Yea, I know...

hence the Kevin Bacon comment, when I first heard this it was a story of how some way or another we are all related to Kevin Bacon.
