Voluptuousness and Temperance

by Michael Colantoni

Fields of the soul, battlefields,
of voracious appetites and obsessions!
The voluptuousness of passions
dominates kings and monarchs.

An unrestrained passion silences
like a storm, the harmonic songs
of the nightingale, and with strong intentions
in the sands of pleasure one gets stranded.

The body is a boat sailing over a furious sea
that is headed by the colossus Spirit:
the Spirit floats, whereas the boat is sunk.

This is the law for those who are called and chosen:
whoever quiets the rage of the senses,
also quiets the rage of life.

Dr. Jorge Adoum (Magus Jefa)
