Dark Reflection

its voice deep and mellow like smooth satiny chocolate,
"There is more, much more than good and evil,"

A heart beeats…
A heart beeats again…

A heart beeats…
And then another
And then another
And then another,
Until the rhythm of the hearts sounds like thunder!
Welcome to life inside the cocoon…

Why are we here

Part-1:

Polarities unite, in burst of light
One that became two, is now one again
Rapture renewal pulsates with delight
Embodied within, we gently ingrain

An ethereal cord, transmits this bliss
Straight to the source, without employing force
Teasing caress of Divine...
