INTENSITY

 

This is a meditation on intensity
It is a meditation on the contours of ecstasy
I wire my mind to take in your electricity
Conspiring to imagine our collective divinity

You animate my imagination with your fierce pride
You light a fire of desire deep inside
But do I long to hold your innermost spirit close?
Or do i merely want the experience of a wild erotic ride?

There are many nights when I crave sensual extremes
Moments when the pulse of your power feels pregnant with meaning
Yet so often, trust, intimacy, and emotional support are what I desire at the deepest layers of my being

The dangers of this hyper stimulation are acute and visceral
I try to calm my mind but am losing ground to pornographic ritual
i dream of elevating our sexual practice towards a vision that is bold and  apocryphal
We can find the zygote of intimacy that is deeply and profoundly spiritual

But sometimes the compulsive erotic cravings overwhelm my psychic peace
Sometimes I give in to the allure of intoxication with a lover in the fantasy of my dreams

The power rising within is the seismic force of sexual intensity
And sometimes I just crave intensity—yeah…sometimes I just crave intensity
