*whistles* Wow, what a beaut, Faye! You have mastered the art of lining up symbols to point in that impossible direction, toward the ineffable. Superb.

If only more people, men and women both, could learn the ways of ecstasy, trading their inherited shame for it, as you so clearly have. You lead by example.

Thank you Mike! Having been through the journey I have, it is my mission to share the ways of ecstasy. Poetry is a good start, but I have much more brewing in my cauldron.

beautiful poetry. A rare description of love making fully immersed in LOVE and EROS and connection with life (rather than e.g. frustration, violence, addiction, trauma...)

Wow ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I will be coming back to this to sink even deeper into it. I love the line “I am love making love, instrument, conductor, artist”

I'm so happy you're enjoying. The instrument, conductor, artist contemplation is one I've been playing with for a while. It's an interesting experiment to notice the subtle shifts in experience with each one in mind 👀
