Shiva Seals His Fate With A Kiss

Hands on skin

Peeling back the need

Of unfulfilled touch

This healing

An elision of thought and movement

Sinuously gliding

In the arc of spines and

The covenant of hips

Intertwined

She will wrap herself

around the wound of his want

Bandaging him in the glisten of her lips

Extracting the blade of truth

From his blue throat

with slow licks and soft sucks.

Sweating out the poisoned word,

Her caresses become milky light glow.

His radium drips in her grip.

With the rain of her fingers,the crescent moon rises in him

untangling the Ganges from his locks to

release the nectar of immortality.

Three planetary systems explode

In his ecstasy...

And their star dance

Gives birth to the loins of God.

Okay, I'm silly enough to add this epilogue.
Mostly because I'm a bit imbibalicious which makes me prolix. :)

In Hinduism, the Lord Shiva and his consort Pavarti beget a son, Ganesha.

This is my sexy story of Ganesha's creation from the womb of need repressed and then released. It is about the true divinity in the sexual power of the eternal feminine. Needless to say, I have taken license with it...
It's a sort of "acting out" in poetic form of a fantasy I have about my "muse".
Haha
I will be honest, I wrote this in bed right after I woke up from a delicious dream this morning without any intention of writing a story about any particular deity, but then something made me think of Shiva & I realized there was a story about him in between the lines..

Because I know a few of you love references, here are some:

On Pavarti via Wikipedia:

"Parvati's legends are intrinsically related to Shiva. It is only in goddess-oriented Shakta texts, that she is said to transcend even Shiva, and is identified as the Supreme Being. Just as Shiva is at once the presiding deity of destruction and regeneration, the couple jointly symbolise at once both the power of renunciation and asceticism and the blessings of marital felicity.

Parvati thus symbolises many different virtues esteemed by Hindu tradition: fertility, marital felicity, devotion to the spouse, asceticism, and power. Parvati represents the householder ideal in the perennial tension in Hinduism in the household ideal and the ascetic idea. In classical Hindu mythology, the "raison d'être" of Parvati, and before that of Sati, is to lure Shiva into marriage and thus into a wider circle of worldly affairs.



Parvati civilizes Shiva, the "great unpredictable madman" with her presence. When Shiva does his violent, destructive Tandava dance, Parvati is described as calming him or complementing his violence by slow, creative steps of her own Lasya dance. In many myths, Parvati is not as much his complement as his rival, tricking, seducing, or luring him away from his ascetic practices. Again, Parvati subdues Shiva's immense sexual vitality. In this context, Shiva Purana says: 'The linga of Shiva, cursed by the sages, fell on the earth and burnt everything before it like fire. Parvati took the form of a yoni and calmed it by holding the linga in her yoni'. The Padma Purana also tells the story of Parvati assuming the form of yoni to receive lingam of Shiva, who was cursed by sage Bhrigu to be the form of the lingam. "



Here's a brief explanation of their child, Lord Ganesha who resides in the first chakra, the "loins" of the body, if you will (from Wikipedia):

"According to Kundalini yoga, Ganesha resides in the first chakra, called Muladhara (mūlādhāra). Mula means "original, main"; adhara means "base, foundation". The muladhara chakra is the principle on which the manifestation or outward expansion of primordial Divine Force rests.^[96] This association is also attested to in the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Courtright translates this passage as follows: "[O Ganesha,] You continually dwell in the sacral plexus at the base of the spine [mūlādhāra cakra]."^[97] Thus, Ganesha has a permanent abode in every being at the Muladhara.^[98] Ganesha holds, supports and guides all other chakras, thereby "governing the forces that propel the wheel of life".^{[96] "}
