TANTRIC MYTHOLOGY: a bypo journal

Spirit moves
Deeply attuned
My mind expands
Duality reconstrued

My god is desire
My god is awakening
This explosion of tantric fire
Our collective divinity creating

I am a vessel for the sacred
Worshiping divergent pantheons
Aztec martyrs fuse with Osiris
Bantu gods craft new songs

Yoruba spirits traverse deep waters
Yamaya and Oshun: divinity’s daughters
Shango’s fire powers virility
Fueling the tantric–making it deeper

I return to inspiration
To the fulcrum of experience
I taste the nectar of liberation
I taste your spiritual essence

I feel the pulse of your libido
Exploring the resonance of your being
New consciousness gestates
Orgasmic powers interweaving

My mind becomes ambidextrous
Our bodies pulsating and electric
Dualities and dialectics
Becoming fused and concentric

Circles of sacred fire
Unveiled before my eyes
This cauldron of divinity
Unleashing viscous desire

Evolve to find the joy in pain
Feel your tears and let them rain
Explore your writhing spirit and liberate
Mantras manifest remolding our fate

Shiva and Shakti realign
Copulate and intertwine
Every atom orgasmic
Forging sentience divine

The carnal becomes sacred
Truth unveiled by many traditions
We recreate tantric synergy
We resurrect a new religion

Find the bliss deep within
Observe the stars arising again
Kundalini fire burns inside
Serpents merging your spine and mind

Worship gods of the diaspora
Spirits both ancient and modern
This tradition is transformation
Tantric creation begins again

Orishas of Santeria
Meeting godlings of the east
Crafting new prophecy
Forging liberation and peace

Sanskrit words pierce my mind
Words I strain to comprehend
All that we experience is divine
Cosmic genesis courses without end
