Ashes to ashes
I am still a Buddhist
Loving to Love
The love that knows love
The way Love should be loved
Dust to dust
I am still a Buddhist
Chanting to chant
Chanting for Love
Loving to chant
Like smoke I spread
Disappearing I am still all
And everywhere, I rise
And Fall
I am still a Buddhist
The colorless exhale
Once the wind blows
From ashes to dust
Burning yet yearning to exist
Still, I am Buddhist
born, created from ashes
Here lies Procrastination
buried deep in the grave
along with Haste and Despair
Though it may be shallow,
it still has room for Grief
But will it be enough
in remembrance of them all?
I know I have to go,
but I Don’t want to go anywhere
Am I ready to?
I Don’t know,
but I’ll get there sometime
I imagine how it’ll be
And I’m cool with that
I am In it
I am in the moment
Until I realize that moment is now
And then, I want to get out
I know I have to go,
but I Don’t want to go anywhere
yet
Cover me in Love, Love
Show me your true color
Don’t leave me with bruises
Just so I can make excuses
Cover me well Love, Love
Make me feel like I should feel
Don’t treat me like some ordinary fellow
Paint me in yellow
Cover me happy Love, Love
And kiss me all night long
Don’t mind my bleeding heart
While you try it all apart
I want to wrap myself around you
Holding on and back so tight
Try to have mercy on me
‘ Cause I’m too bright for the light
Cover me Love, Love
Sing to my front and my back
And if I try and get away Love, Love
Just pick up the slack
Cover me in Yellow Love, Love
Red comes on too strong
Cover me in Yellow, Love
A vase of yellow roses so long
You came
without alerting me
Was I to know
that your feet were clean
before you entered?
Now, there isn’t a vacuum
to clean up the mess
You made inside the home
I made comfortable for myself
My self now houses
all that your soul conquered
before
You came
to get me to say,
“I’m sorry you had to wait”
If only I held out a little longer,
You couldn’t have come
and I couldn’t hate you
like I do now
It would have been
someone else
who cared about what
they brought inside
The Dog knew it was Man’s Best Friend
He made his life worthwhile
as they aged, the Dog aged faster
And, as the Man aged, He ran slower
Their connection lasted through death
Protection then came by dreams
He knew He had taught Him well
Then, when His time was up
He no longer dreamed alone
Waiting patiently on the outside
With His lights so bright,
His best friend jumped into His arms
without jumping
As if guided by a leash,
He led Him into forever
Again
When I ask your feelings
about something I did,
Humor me, then
Don’t abuse me
Don’t let me feel
I am doing it right, when I am not
It’s like laughing
without sound. Poking at me
If I ask you your opinion,
make me feel like you’re staring right at me
Let me see the truth
before your smile becomes a wall
If pleasure never finds you,
How long will you ever stay?
Words are never meaningless,
as long as the right action is taken
