Leech Samahdi

Unaware of me
You come into my existence
Divine planning
Divine purpose

I come out after the storm
During the sultry moistness and distractions of life 
Without asking, I take hold of you
Whenever, Wherever 

In my starving state I pierce into you
Work my way under the layers of flesh
Until I find my ectoparasitic body wholly absorbed 
Into the completion of bliss that is fueled by your blood

I am fully satiated, expanded
Drank my fill until I could drink no more
I release you and slumber, Awakened 
Only now do you feel the tickle in between your toes

In the ecstasy that is my life
Total integration into conscious experience 
I fully let go of my bilateral symmetry and sink into Samadhi 
As only a leech can know it
