The Five Elements – Fire
Asleep
Upon a hardwood floor
In a small room
A place to live
A life
As a boy
As a man
Setting this body
Upon the floor
To sleep
Again
Every night
Stripped of money
Stripped of time
Stripped of love
Banished to a tour
Of living hell
Tortured in my mind
Kissed by death
So many times
Stripped naked
Just meat
&
Bone
&
Wood
In the silence
Of the night
Left to morn
The death
Of dreams
Of friend
Betrayed by a kiss
That stole my life
Away from me
A trust
That existed
Only in my mind
Shut down
Exiled
Sleep
Hardness of wood
Of floor
Ache & Bruise
Frail
Skin and bone
Naked
Parched lips
Kissed dry
By denial
Of the lies
Of love
To sleep
Lips
Pressed together
To kiss death
On the cheek
In peace
I sleep
One kiss
I keep
To give
My last kiss
Belongs
To
The Lips
Of
Love
Namaste
