Drinking Song

I am being born again and again From above Not from the will of men And in these births is one aching desire to connect with you my sister, my bride I'll never have another Lover I've always had infinite lovers My awareness has contracted In order to expand explosively Come and drink with me Let us have our fill of love Intoxicating Our spirits touching one another tenderly and willingly Let us open one another To the vulnerability That love requires Throwing down our shields and weapons to see the fruit of our desires Oh, the pangs of this inexpressible love Come away with me Come away and drink with me It is with my blood that I write these words to you My blood is spirit My very life I will never lose a single one of you Friends and lovers We could never lose each other Wandering alone through Maya all along, the illusion drawing us together This is our primal nature Forsake the law And repudiate morality This is our very destiny Let us be naked Let us expose ourselves Let us share ourselves freely Let us connect completely What is the law if not only the darkest magic We have ever found ourselves enslaved to? Hyper-rationality Fed good and evil from the same tree Enlightenment Apollo Darkening our Dionysian revelry But it was for a purpose Transcending means including But with equality Why should Apollo rule Dionysius? Why should Bacchus yield to the hammer of Hephaestus? Can you see we've always been completely innocent? Do you still imagine that Love includes any imperfection? Can you see that we are One and only One? And that the One is always absolutely perfect? Oh, our folly Of free will and control Don't we know that we are each and every one A multitude? I am a community I fulfill the law of my community's desire And care for all of them tenderly But I do not exert control I am community Come commune with me We'll express the inexpressible Playfully In turn We are each communities Let our communities partake together Of this Dionysian revelry Making love from dusk till dawn Then making love again Let us leave the law and moral code For other women, other men Love under will And fulfill the law of do what thou will Only Love can thus possess you But know that Love, this Chief of Daimons Had possessed you before you ever thought of Her Her name is Being, Consiousness, and Bliss Have I merely drunk too much? No, I cannot ever have my fill Let me dream of friends and lovers Let me love under the Will
