Upon

{ Shàng }

Upon

The walls of this house

On fire

Set ablaze

Fixed on peace

To meditate

Upon the storm

Upon the wind

Upon the pelting rain

Thrashing down

Upon the ground

Into streams

Into mist

Upon the air

Upon the cheek

A kiss of life

Upon lips

Of Love

Namaste

The Five Elements Fire

wŭ xíng - huǒ

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

The hour we get back again

Did you ever take the time

When the time moves back

One hour in time

To use the gift of time

To relive

That hour of your life

A mind set in waiting

For the first light

Of dawn

Would you take the time

To relive that hour

In exchange for any hour

Of your life

Coincidence

Say that the world

Set aside an hour

To give you

A Leap year of sorts

Going back

Not forth

In this life

If that hour

Could changed

The effect of the worst hour

You've lived

Would you then

My friend

Sit up to spend

An hour set aside

While most do sleep

This gift

To live

Again

This time

To Love

Namaste
