YOGA MAN

head
under sheets
of
memory
my teacher
beckoning Dakini
summons Karmapa
still
hopeful
when love rushes in
pulls her up
rocks her in his warm lullaby
of
blushes
pulsating
waves
of Karma Sutra graphics
eternity
smiling Buddhas abound

ahhh...

(time for a cigarette)

Nae,

Hee hee...you got it! This poem is about an old flame, my Yoga teacher. He and I were indeed practicing Tantric Yoga--He's the one who introduced me to my Tibetan Rimpoche Lama a long, long time ago.

Thanks for reading Nae, I thought you might like this since you just started taking Yoga. Yoga rocks!

snapshot,

Thanks for reading & commenting. Hee hee...yes, of course I feel the same about DBH (my husband)...this particular poem (as I told Nae in above comments) is about an old flame from many moons ago. It was when I was first introduced to Tibetan Buddhism. Tantric Yoga is a part of the belief system within Tibetan Buddhism. The Lamas believe that the practice of sexual Tantric brings us to high levels of conscienceness. I have always believed this to be true myself, but only if there is complete love and trust between the lovers. Personally, I don't believe that I ever experienced true spiritual levels of loving making until I met my present husband DBH. It is an awesome thing when there is love. Sex can be both fun, dirty and spiritual all at the same time when you're with the right person.
