Themes and Insights

Erotology

Desire and FearThe poem presents desire as both a gift and a source of fear, revealing that our greatest fears can mask our greatest gifts. The inner struggle with desire and how it is shaped by external forces (like shame or societal expectations) is a key theme.

Sacred Connection and UnityThe metaphor of a bridge connecting two kingdoms is central, symbolizing the union of two people or souls. This sacred connection brings life, joy, and fulfillment, and is presented as something deeper and more spiritual than mere physical desire.

Personal Freedom and Rejection of ShameThe poem boldly challenges societal norms, laws, and principles that attempt to dictate desire. It calls out the "axe of Shame" that destroys the sacredness of love, advocating for personal freedom to experience desire in its purest, untainted form.

Metaphor of the KingdomsThe imagery of two kingdoms—each lacking what the other has—creates a rich metaphor for relationships. By crossing into each other’s worlds, the poem emphasizes that true connection requires mutual sharing, exploration, and understanding of what the other offers.

Light as Guidance and HopeThe recurring image of a lamp hung upon the bridge signifies hope, guidance, and the dissipation of darkness. It acts as a symbol of truth and connection, showing that in moments of fear or darkness, love and unity serve as a beacon to lead both souls back to each other.

Erotology

It’s like an unseen mountain
blocking the view of life beyond

It’s like an unknown alien
who convinced me I am him

I believe the origin of our desire
is due to its gift

So there the foe.

I find a truth in me
and all of life grew dark

Another finds a truth in her
and all of life grew dark

We find a truth together
and all of darkness approaches
to steal the truth

Our greatest fear
is our greatest gift

Our deepest secret
is our soul’s destiny

Within the wrath of my fear
is the original desire of love
as the voice hears riddles
that passion may be misdirected

I am not of these things I feel
that I do not like

I am of the things I feel
that I do like

There is no law nor moral nor ethic nor principle
that may hold the right to dictate my desires
save that the lie of the tyrant

How wrought our world is with them?

And with their axe of Shame
they slaughter beautiful sacredness
and passionate blessings

Yet before us is a bridge connecting our two worlds
that darkness wishes to blind us from

The crossing of such a bridge
is unlike any pleasure on earth
and it joins two sacred houses into one
it connects two powerful kingdoms into one

To stand upon the bridge
is to feel and smell the cool carress
of life giving waters
flowing beneith our feet
teaming with life

And we never stand alone upon the bridge
admiring the depths
for both leaders of both lands
meet together there
and invite each other
to explore each others kingdoms

All that my Kingdom lacks to create a feast
can be found in her Kingdom
even as all that her Kingdom lacks to create a feast
can be found in mine

We leave our homes
and the sanctuary of our minds
to dwell in temporary booths over there
to set up the tabernacle within their borders

The doing of such
is glory to Life itself
in the greatest of fellowship imaginable

Hang a Lamp upon the Bridge
to burn forever by the daily lighting and care

I will not stand on the edge of my Borders
exploiting and exibiting them
just for the drawing of others to desire the fruits over here

I will not bring light to myself

Hang the lamp Upon the bridge
Where two or more cross over and stand
so that even in darkness
it is as a lighthouse beacon
guiding us all
back over to the comfort of other kingdoms

I will hang a Lamp upon that Bridge
in order to dissapate the darkness
of the lie of fear

This is the Intimate Journey

You are so beautiful
with me.
