Let's dance to liquid sounds 
The music of water's cascade 
Which will sweep us back 
Together into our deepest longings 
Celebrating love's liberation 
We are made of the Earth's dust 
Or the ocean's ground sand 
Like sea pebbles we are both hurled 
Back and forth with each crashing wave 
And with each of the water's swing 
Of the timeless pendulum's move 
We were spun helplessly 
Caught in the torrents of the wave's vortex
Thrown up upon the high tide's mark 
Carried way up on the Earth's warm shore 
Only to be sucked back in water's withdrawl 
Dragged back by the undertow 
And then pulled in another wave's 
Curl and so again to be hurled 
Over and over in Nature's rhythm 
This is the sound of Love's pattern 
We were flung into life's waters 
And we learned, yes, we learned to swim 
Caught up in Love's wild undertow

***

You live in my mouth 
This is not a poetic conceit 
As when some poet said 
That when he contained a 
Multitude of voices, etc
I didn't know this 
But is seems that DNA 
Is transferred by a kiss 
And this DNA is never
Ever lost in our life 
Our mouths house a swarm 
Of billions of bacteria 
Millions of germs and viruses 
Every kiss transfers 
Not only this small world 
An Earth's microcosm 
But also that person's DNA
So you live in me 
And I live in you 
For your DNA is essence 
The body's blueprint 
Directions for building 
An exact reproduction 
Every kiss transfers a World
