Our Story

Our Story

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce

There was a girl and a boy

who lived very far from one another

their essences traveled from one side of the world

to the other in waves of elation, delight-

waves faster than the speed of sound,

they traveled though ethereal space and time

into one another's embrace

rising to one another as the Phoenix

as their astral bodies melded into a unity

that physical bodies could not equal-

it was a melding of sweet revelation

where no words needed to be spoken

as a million things were said without speaking a word.

 

They felt transcending, pure, unequivocal, absolute happiness

as they never knew before,

so great, so pure was their happiness

that they were dreadfully scared of spoiling it

in any way, lest it would burst

like a bubble, so they knew not whether they

would ever meet in real life yet they held hope

that one day they might gaze into one another's eyes,

see a vision of each other's souls.

 

They looked forward with barely controlled excitement

to gazing deeply into, tasting one another

perceiving a vision of paradise and escstasy there

which in turn would bring them closer to divinity

a sweet paradise on earth-

they couldn't keep their hands from one another

would kiss, lick, gaze deeply into one another's eyes

all day and night long

as their minds' eyes met as One

they spun into the Universe in electric azure blue

while their simultaneous orgasm lasted for eternity,

filling the entire cosmos with its energy,

its bliss creating supernovas, shooting stars

within space and time while

his ejaculata became the nebulae

her seed became the stars.

 

Together these birthed a new galaxy

amidst the cosmos as their cries of ecstasy

reverberated through the space time continuum

forever and ever joining the infinite

wisdom of the planets and galaxies beyond

as their Love became the Universe

the Universe became Them,

their love gave birth to the Universe

the Universe gave birth to Them

and in the Beginning was the End

in the End was the Beginning.

Sidartha.. this speaks to every readers soul.. of gods and goddesses divine in their own making-
creation being the catalyst for what affection abounds in stars.. the nebuala skies of eternity
i enjoyed the way your passion sends chills through the body..percieving celestial heights.. with ambition
describing the cosmic throes of ecstacy in painted prose.. revealing what becomes of "stardust"

ethereal romance.. your metaphysical projections wisp auras with magical winds.. the way distances
come together when two souls look at the moon simultaniously.. describing desire unbound..
traveling- reaching- enlightening space and time..to what becomes of revelations.. loved this

WOW! This is just perfect! The imagery is beautiful, very descriptive and a place that makes your reader long to be...in the arms of one's soulmate.

Shiva-Shakti! My favorite couple! ;-) When one contemplates the female principle as the entire manifest Kosmos, inner and outer, and the male principle as sublime indifference to form, it makes the little meat puppet melodramas we apparently mere mortals drum up, seem especially absurd. Ah, but what if this instant vast transcendence were accessible in our secret sacred nondual deepest nature? That's why you called it "Our Story" eh, Sidd(h)artha? (Do you mean to leave the typical "h" out, by the way? Or is this one those multiple spelling choices, like, in fact, "Siva"?) Anyway, thanks for giving me something to whole-heartedly embrace!

It kept me hooked to the end full of romantic wanderlust. Very descriptive and engaging. I wish I felt something like that or even half that.

Very synesthetic imagery. I found myself caught up in the ethereal love story - which is strange being I'm not the most romantic guy around. I pick up a heavy theme of transcendence within this poem. It seems to strip away material to a point where the creation of our known universe came from nothing but consciousness and the energy generated by love, which could be - myself being a Christian, its not outside the realm of possibility for me to entertain this. However, the state of mind and consciousness touched on in this eloquent love story mirrors the same state of euphoria and transcendence induced by LSD. So it begs to wonder, are we truly the creators of our own universe or is that simply the limit that our own consciousness allows us to believe. Thought provoking and at it's core beautiful. This is truly a worthy poem.

Finally, all the questions about the creation of the Universe have been answered clearly, elegantly and completely. I've been looking for something to believe in and this write is the closest I've come to finding it. Lovely, fine lines...

This sounds a lot like ancient mythology to me. "How the universe was created," according to.....
Early on, I thought the two lovers would come together in the flesh and find that their love wasn't that strong, but I was wrong. (that's not unusual for me) Thanks for taking me on that flight of starry ecstacy, Siddartha.

Wow, thats all I can say. This was an absolutely incredible creation straight from the mind of literary genius. The words flowed so beautifully and it kept me rooted. It was an interesting twist on that age old question of creation that no one else has ever taken on before. There were a few grammatic errors but nothing that took away from the beauty of the lyrics. Incredible, enough said
