Four paths of tantra trika
1) Preamble
As breath’s created, sustained and destroyed,
we see trika, threefold aspect at play
through life, where we are by ego decoyed,
until we choose to make love our mainstay.
Beyond religions, scriptures and folklore,
let’s explore the direct path intimate
and immediate, where each pore’s a door,
bestowing God’s grace that does not abate.
Back to basics, we look at sun and

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

Put it all back together
I know it fits
We fit
Spiral dynamics
The mountain and
Its wet reflection
Reflected back to heaven
Upward, onward
Connection!
You're in my visceral section
I'm in your sacral area
With one heart between the both of us
Severed up and down
Sectioned side to side
Earth and Heaven
Male and Female
How long we bore this

The Risk Is All
("Glimpsing Hokusai", 2017, original encaustic)
The Risk Is All
The wages of sin is death.
And yet so many flirt with it.
People who think they can maintain the upper hand.
That they can have their cake and eat it too.
Lots have suffered though thinking they can surf the big waves.
The key word there is think.
And although surfing, like any

Kaula Path of Tantra
No limitation
We do as we like
Yet without desire
Rest in cessation

Embrace-release
As we unfreeze
Dance as we please
Nonchalant ease
In bliss hive
Joy alive
Thus does jive
Each throb
Simply
Bliss

On an as is where is basis suffused with bliss replete

Flowing unresistant in trust

In playful innocence
Creating a pulse of separation
Culminating in divine union
Paths four for liberation
All found in the void of cessation
Krama: the descent & rise
Resulting in joyful surprise

Upon ego delusion dissolution
