Love and lust...

No 'love' lasts without lust
all love is lost without that.
Is not lust, love for the body
rather than the 'soul' within?

It is 
a drive not easy to resist
a passion hard to desist
could make one blind, if not mad.

Would go any length to meet the mate
won't easily be satisfied with 
anything less than mating
failing to get co-operation 
won't hesitate to coax or conquer.

Basic instinct it is, they say
but base it is, others profess!
It is knowledge, as in 
'Adam knew Eve!' 

'Shanti muhoortam' it is 
in the tradition of Hindus
for only then the couple
experience peace so profound
and fulfillment so perfect.

'Purusha and prakriti,
Sakthi and Siva,
Atman and Brahman
are dualities representing
the male-female factors and
the Siva -linga is the symbol 
perfect of fertility.

This is the terminology
the mystics resort to
while describing the
divine-human intercourse
