Beyond Maya's Veil

On sating the six senses to catapult soul's evolution beyond the realm of mundane illusion:




Hushed musical chords
Softly lilting flute
Soloist’s haunting lament
Receptors keenly attuned

Solitary candle
Flickering nubile dance
Mute inviting glow
Vision’s enhanced expanse

Sturdy crystal goblet
Spicy burgundy blush
Soothing elixir warms blood
Useless inhibitions appeased

Tentacles of curling smoke
Wafting musky scent
Scattered incense ash
Evolving mind massaged

Silken touch enthralls
Tantric mastery’s gift
Kundalini fully uncoiled
Love’s labor complete

Ego’s chains broken
Rational mind surmounted
Altered awareness released
Being’s potential surprises

Liberated euphoric spirit
Journey now beyond Maya's veil
Where multi-dimensionality resides
And novel challenges thrive

Let me watch it...reciprocate the flame...passionate cries of synchronicity...midnight...flagellating sensuality's burning sting entirely a mind-bender-over...

Extremely complex emotions...voyeurism calms complexity...

Magical...an experience that alters one's perspectives and direction. Seems too few find any real value in the simplicity of such "ritual". Enjoyed this greatly, and can relate in many ways. All good things to you, M'Lady, Jim.

Carolyn, I saw an erotic night, between two people that realized that together they could face the world, and were willing to do so. Exceptional writing. Lisa

I love the images that come to mind when I read this poem. I see a wedding, an erotic night together - the fulfilment of that - and then the couple realizes there are more challenges ahead of them - there's more to life than the novelity of "marriage." Gosh, I hope that's what I was suppose to see! I love your words Carolyn, I really do. Excellent verse!
