Love Making

My whole body is numb, but
something, inside me, silently resonates, in a divine rhythm.
I am sure it is my soul, dancing with joy.
If you listen closely,
it is like inside of earth still humming,
long after an earthquake.

I can't feel myself anymore,
as if all my senses have crashed,
with an overload of joy,
what remains of me is just a sensation,
not even a thought,
but only a sensation, of joy, floating in the air-
how different soul could be, from this sensation of joy!

In your embrace, my love!
having merged my self in you physically,
my soul gets released from the shackles of my body,
and becomes one with the completeness
of endless universe.
But, what is strange is that,
it is the experience of my body that frees my soul-the path to freedom passes through the shackle itself! Always.
