Lavender's Dungeon

Don’t be mistaken

thinking there’s a heaven waiting for you

in the next life

Look around you

Listen to the way

her voice vibrates every molecule of your body

It brings tears to your eyes and fills your mind

with so much pleasure

You throw your head back

and let it fill your bones

Feel the way the

black thick of the night

covers you like a warm coat

as you watch the universe display

a million galaxies before your eyes

Listen to the sound of the waves

underneath the water

A subtle crash against the surf

can transform your mind

into a vehicle of tranquility

Taste the berries that stain your fingers

When was the last time you had their blood on your hands?

Lick off the juices

like the wild animal you are

Don’t you see, heaven is here? It’s around you and inside you all at once.

Please

Do not waste your time

believing that heaven comes next

You know what comes next

You knew it for billions of years—toiling in the oblivion of yesterday

Love,

Lav
