Transformations



Ron Madson

Hunger

When I dreamed

This is not about desire but

Love



My nostrils whetted with carnal perfumes

You held out your arms

This is not about action but

Peace



My skin savoring still embraces

Standing face to face

This is not about happiness but

Joy



Eyes consumed with knowing

I placed my wrists upon yours

This is not about passion but

Bliss



Our tongues imbibing beyond reason

Letting your tattooed Om's touch me

This is not about mystery but

Light



Oh! . . . Intoxicated summered stars

Whispering, "Let the oneness of our souls be known to us."

This is about being beyond names and forms

Atman



S A T I A T E D

For now
