Tantric Breathing
*
Like those of tantric lovers;
Respiring, Darks and brights.
Lungs of earth breathe in
And out, in rhythms, night
Consuming heat at eventide,
That dawn and day expired;
*
Repeats,
A soundless sharing
In the movement of the air.
The chest of night swells higher
When the same of days,
Decrease...
*
Yin breathes-in the void, and then
Expels it from her heart;
Yang accepts the invisible gifts,
Into the portals of his chest.
*
Echo's quite the same, earth
and woman-man, are like arranged
In give and take
Of vital forces by exchange.
*
Love vows left unsaid, yet shared;
Sitting yab-yum, folded arms around
Entangled humans bring to union,
Energy that's found, in every breath;
Separate hearts then melting into one.

Loved the entire concept of this write, very deep and yet, self-explainatory

we are one within man/woman...woman/man and do so believe there is one special person for every human being which compliments the soul....finding them, is another story?

Smiles and hugs...good good write

Couldn't pick a favorite verse out of this,
because I just truly loved it all.
This is excellent ice!  Just perfect.

leave this on the nightstand...
most men have no concept of this spiritual/physical union, only wanting to park their car into the garage and then to make a quick exit..........
nicely woven together iceman

yes,
"one within"...Man/woman-Woman/man"
When breaths are exchanged we become one and the same, and are truly unified with the universe....Thanks for the "good good" reply.

Gentle Spirit (I love that nic... )
"loved it all"...sigh.....all I can say is thank you.

Muted..Hey, I stole your line "sigh") sorry about that. "Fulfilling" is a very nice compliment
Thank you.

Inky
I suppose there are times when simply a physical union is acceptable, but when the union is spiritual and physical at the same time, more than just sparks fly...lol, I love your comment about the car and the garage....

Martie
A compliment such as this, from one who has woven many dreams in my mind, (by reading their poetry)Is very flattering...
Thank you for those dreams and this reply...

You had me with breathing...
you kept me with echoes...

To sit silently and breathe is exactly the way I would like everyone to be when they read this..and vibrating....
That is such a sensual act...
Thank you

P.S.
I am delighted that you were delighted....
Thank you

Froggy
You did get a sneak preview, Glad you think it beautiful
Thank you

"exquisite" That's a pretty big word,
"Very" in front of it is very flattering.
Thank you

Sunshine
You centered the whole point of the poem, a breath is but a breath, but when it is taken into the lungs of a lover and then returned, it becomes and echo...one that does not stop it's reverberation until the lovers choose it to..
Thank you

Again, Thank you (all) for reading and the kind replies

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.
Longfellow
