Sex Opens Us
Let’s settle this once and for all,
sex is absolutely pure
and designed by God —
no matter what a million
anti-body clerics who tried to stuff
it have said.
God knows how many secretly
pleasured themselves in the dark
under their dark robes
for sex is the urge of Life,
the instinct of surrender,
the magical motion of opening,
the ecstatic essence known,
the pure ripple,
a divine song in cells.
So then, how could they surrender
to God, that spontaneous freedom,
that shinning river of soft pleasure
in all that is utterly natural and real,
without discovering sex
rippling up in devotional colors
through their passionate bodies
and souls?
