Ripples of Desire
Am I free?
The shower’s warm embrace had left me in a state of tranquil serenity. Draped in the red remnants of steam and lingering desire, I slipped into bed beside Freedom. His masculine flaming presence, silent yet potent, enveloped me.
[01:30] “I definitely need to get some rest,” I found myself thinking, while noticing my thoughts swirling to and from Freedom’s side of the bed.
“I know what to do, let’s play dying”,
“Sure, why not, let’s stay watchful as we drift into the realms of sleep
…”
[01:3~] Few moments before slumber took hold, overwhelmed by my sisters silence in the face of my Al-Aqsa flood, and by my earlier sensual fusion with freedom, my mind sneaked in… tempting me with a juicy ripe fruit of nuclear knowledge .
“… Is polygamy simply a matter of energy management?, after all, it takes less energy to fuse any two nuclear particulars then to fuse three, right..?”.
Just then, rest came to being, caressing me into complete relaxation.
[~3:00]
Tinted with the hues of midnight blue. I found myself emerging naked from the depths of a pond. My body, erected and arched in awakening, yearned for the boundless space offered to me by the night sky — a canvas sprinkled with stardust, witnessing my sensual ascent.
The pond’s serene surface mirrored to the universe within me, while water drops slipped along my skin, accentuating my curves and contours, erecting my gaze to the stars.
Tracing my inhalation, sensations awakened within me along the rhythm of my breath, a journey of self-discovery flowed thorough me.
“Is my existence more than just a flicker in the cosmic dance?”

[~3:01] “Am I dreaming?” The question arose as a whisper as I found myself bending over the pond, seeking for my reflection in the undulating surface.
As the ripples settled, an image formed, blended with the night’s serene chorus: thighs, hips, breasts, shoulders…
Face?
Small ripples danced with me, each wave a note in the symphony of my inner world.
Beside my forehead, a curvy shape appeared, serpent-like, its presence both loving and mesmerizing.
“What is this sinuous form accompanying me?”
The reflection in the pond, now clear and still, slithered upwards, tracing the path from my cervix to my perineum, belly, chest, and throat, igniting a fire of self-awareness and liberation.
[~3:02] “Am I alive?” I found myself wondering.
The serpent, in her stillness, seemed to respond with a gesture of understanding and calm.
“Freedom,” I mused as the revelation washed over me, “is the realization that life and death are intertwined, surrendering themselves to each other.”
[~3:03] “So what?”
Unshackled from societal confines, I felt free to explore the depths of my sensual identity.
A tiny dragonfly, his wings shimmering in the bluish hue, swayed along the stream. This delicate flight pulled my desire back towards Freedom.
“Are we not like this dragonfly, my love” I wondered, “flitting between realms of reality and fantasy, between fear and courage?”
Freedom kept silence, as if deliberately avoiding me.
Suddenly, fear intruded my tranquility, “did I loose my Freedom to another?”
The thought, a sharp pang in the midst of my dream’s caress, awakened a primal fear in me as the dragonfly’s wings fluttered with uncertainty, echoing my own.
[~3:05] In the fluidity of that moment, I felt a voice, serpentine and seductive, whispering, “What are you afraid of…?” she asked, but my attention was drifting along~with the dragonfly whimsical dance of freedom.
“Hmm,” hummed the dragonfly to the serpent, its wings glistening with a playful arrogance, “looks like I won this game, my play was more sensual and provoking than yours…, see how I’m getting the sexy lady attention?”
“Indeed,” murmured the snake, her tongue flickering with a knowing smile, while nonchalantly devouring her prey, “Both provoking and tasty.”
My naked body, half-submerged in Freedom’s pond, resonated with duality and anxiety.
[~3:09] “F r e e d o m ,” I whispered into the night, my voice barely more than a breath, “are you still with me in this dance of shadows and lights?”
But my voice cascaded alone, no answer came back, only the gentle lapping of water against my skin, and the distant call of the night.
