divinity athanasios Would one who achieved such a state have the need for definitions at all? 000128 ... misstree suspended in timeless sensation, we were animals and gods. slippery flesh and boiling blood and hands grasping greedily, we met and writhed like tangled serpents, devouring eachother in eternal empathy. we strained into and against with soft, savage rhythyms, each stroke a celebration, each gasp a victory. we were gods, lions, siamese twins, feeling and filling and consuming eachother in incestuous unity. sensation was a sacrifice as old as the rain, father sky pounding & filling musky mother earth. you were the serpent that slid across Eve's skin in innocent temptation, drawing us towards the golden apple of knowledge diving-- not the dry, dusty facts of scholars, but pleasure too pure and intense to be kept in mortal bounds, the feeling of gods in the act of creation, too strong for gentle souls, the property of saveates in ancient, ecstatic rituals.
