Aeons since HE-SHE breathed two as One Twist
integrated with balance, mirrors birthing from Sun
positive to root, negative pulling through mist  eternally yoked, polarity pacts stoked hooking fun

Streaming lucid radiation waves toroidal turning
with momentary variegated fear clasps loosen form is norm to learn, earn experience burning 
marching through destinies magnetism bosoms 

Dragonflying in scintillating spirals, circles, cycles
planet after planet, forms tag emptiness, each 
life new lessons accredited, shadow-light sickles 
palette backgrounds not always rosy peaches

One into two a 3D reality, layers pack like wafers
cream over cake illusory dreams across screens
unpeel we were bound as is every script papered quest defines curriculums canny, pathways seen

Masculine and feminine skills with talents froth
to acquire, for hire or dire, not to tad tire, though 
time-space offered due manifestation goal gains
attained across centuries, rounds progress broth 

Planet Gaia the densest, dearest, most desires 
sensual selves indulge, know hearts alarming 
or calming : fire, air, water, earth become mire 
egos demand, cause and effect result in neglect 

Lost to each other, but entwined created, sworn
this way or that, east-west presenting as best
north-south directional choices, rich or poor born options caused concoctions, mind ruled the jest 

Hearts ached and attested for exact platinum key to unlock highest nest, fulfil missions without constrictions, noble search underscored every birth, masks presented dangerous turbulent seas 
 
Supreme held baton, patterned symphonic time
surrender only way to weave wonderous whole
soul recognition harsh punch bite opposite poles
dark nights pressured wounds for healings divine 

Breath by breath polarisation finds heart fulcrum 
patience a pluming glory to flower cove covenant 
mystical translucent cord spirals from base to
sacral, navel, breast, throat, fore-eye, love’s sum

Out of two crowns bubble helixes retwisting vows 
waltzing to Source Grace for benign ignition ace
activated, burning bliss, duality rests in Unity’s harmonic pace, One rains on Pure Yin-Yang face

This was a challenge to follow, but not to say, it isn't genius, though not the right word- enlightened comes to mind, Ghairo. I wonder why some people need more lifetimes than others. I love those two final stanzas- we are so scared, we cannot even breathe right,,,, anyway- beautiful poetry, dear gifted soul

ThkU for re-read, PH. Not an easy poem. Will do easy one 2morrow. Some need more lifetimes for a number of reasons: mainly irrational fear based on attachments of Emotional Body to people/places/things/belief systems recreated by ruling classes like Ancient Roman Empire. Resistance is outgrowth of fear, according 2 my perception. Emotional Body can pattern fear genetically, so 2 transmute genes takes time. Spirit is speeding up process. Xx.
