intimate matters

        

lives ago, worlds ago
the buddha has taken refuge in me
searching nirvana in samsara
knowing reality and maya
he came to search in me.

i welcomed him 
as i welcome pure life, genuine quest
he drunk my nectar
quenched his thirst and left
with new knowledge

since then there is a secret in my heart
that keeps us together yet apart
his thirst became mine
my knowledge became his
as he wished

once in a yuga we meet
to exchange knowledge for thirst
until thirst will become knowledge
and knowledge will become
truth



What would I say today if I’d leave for good tomorrow ?

I was blind for so long
When I thought I was loving, I was hunting a "stay with me", "love me" and other words I forgot to mean
When I cried for not being understood it was me who didn’t see you
When I saw a creep in you, it was me who screwed up
 
This night
I kissed my brother then killed him
Or I first killed him, then kissed ?

I wasted too much time, too much brains
I took life for granted, I didn’t see its point
I tried to dance instead
To laugh
As I didn’t know how to love
I locked my heart
 
I feel the key in my hand but I can’t see it
Would you help me find the lock?

You is me, but am I you?
