Insecure Pawn

Sun shines with peaceful grace
How come I am the reason we ache
Is it my inner insecurity?
Or the suspiciousness of the so-called reality?

I've come to the conclusion that love is melancholy
I abound with plenitude
I'm sorry my love is consuming
Truth is it is eroding me too.

The sun has set and there is no grace anymore
Eternity pierces my mind in a static fracture of time.

In that glimpse I felt all the pain in the world at once
But for the first time ever I felt as one with the cosmos
Overwhelmed I struggle not to wake up
In the light of where I've been,
how could I ever come back to life again
At the time I thought that no pain could be worse
I can't believe how naïve I was!
Since then I've become a cork in a sea storm.

Anchored in pain, all was bearable
As long as you cherished my hope
You silenced the howling distress inside of me.

Abandoned and fragile on a quest to find solace
As each of us is imprisoned in a vessel
Doomed to wreck by loss of others
Who nourished our hopes in spite of the odds.

There is nothing real about the world
I choose to believe in your love and in the hungry ghost
You bring the rest to my soul
And who cares if everything is just a Samsara.

Everything is going to be fine
As long as I feel the warmth of your breath on my neck
Everything is going to be fine
As long as a pawn has a queen to die for.
