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
