Into the heart of the furnace, you have cast your stride
Within the breast, a torrent of desire begins its tide
Bring forth the nectar of the gods, the draft of ancient skies
Or pour the venom of the pit where the final shadow lies
For I shall taste the lips of Death to know where living dies.

This is a very passionate poem and the metaphors are seductive and in my limited mind Hindu in nature. I see Kali's two faces in this poem mother of life and death, time and destruction. Giver and taker. The virgin Mary at the foot of the cross, The Janus face of duality. All hear in a love poem. Very nicely worded and a fave
