I Meditated Last Night

I did the rituals
For a kundalini awakening
Sat like a lotus
Lost my focus
Breath beneath notice
Slow and calm
Slowly pushing
Energy up my spine

Nothing

Ready to sleep
Close my eyes

Something

ASMR?
Nah
Petit mal?
Not quite
Orgasmic
Kinda

Shivers
As I felt her breath
On my neck

Something

She breathed
And I reached
A climax of words

Something

Was conceived
Last night

Invisible Tethers

Stillness of body allows the mind untethered
Stillness of mind allows the body untethered
Disturbance of both leaves one without a firm grip
Disturbance of both augurs injury from slips
Stillness of mind and body allow spirit untethered
I guess that’s what Buddha was talking about, Vipasana method

To become master of the self, learn to tie and untie as necessary

Poem [Rage and Meditation]

I was really angry one night,

Attempted meditation to make things right

Perhaps that wasn’t the wisest thing to do

Should have taken a cold bath and continued to stew

Could hear screams, people waking from nightmares

Once, twice, thrice… Did my rage affect their sensitive ears?

Found out next day, nearby gas station caught fire

Coincidences probably, but I’ll try not to mediate when I’m angry.

[Poem] A prayer for metamorphosis

Let the wind clothe our bodies

Gently sweeping through the cotton without static

Let moonlight cocoon us

Let fire run through our veins

Let our flesh turn to water

Mingling with the cosmos

Until starlight beckons us

…

Our hearts race, sweat breaks, we asphyxiate

Psychosomatic… Don’t panic

…

And in the morning may we burn with the light of understanding illuminating new eyes

Which in turn will lead to empathy for all

And absolute samadhi

As we see the universal fractal everywhere.

 

(Inspired by something I read a long time ago,  but I can’t remember what. I’m not sure how to explain samadhi. A rough translation would be peace and joy. )
