Light up my chakras
(For my friends Mihn and Jeanette)
A logician in an ivory tower
Who knitted theorems
Led a life with no drama
Led a life without “I love you”
A woman like there are no more
Who was Leo rising, Leo
Struggled to preserve her virtue
Just four steps from her home
They say man is made of fire
They say woman is made of tow
And if the devil blows a little
Helping along, crossing paths
Then the tow catches fire
One abandons virtue
And the gentleman turns to the lady
And the lady too, he pleased her
Alas, love has become rare
On our crazy planet
My humans who no longer have this beacon
Don’t care; they get lost in the night
Everywhere people kill, mistreat each other
Leave children to die
Yet every time we love one another
We change the course of time a bit
Chorus:
Light up my chakras
That’s all I’m waiting for
Come meditate in my arms
Like matches
We’ll go on retreat
Burning from head to toe
