MY GURU BOYFRIEND (song for Kashi)

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

/

about

Kashi (pictured here) was a disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda's who was able to 'locate' him after his death and bring him cosmic peace. Always loved his face and the world of the invisible ones. (When have I not?)

lyrics

MY GURU BOYFRIEND

oo

you
r my memory
of the future
& of everything
to come

an angel
wearing the coat
of a beggar
of a fool

oo

you
r my memory
of a dream
out of time

in my heart
n not
in my mind

a clown
on the sidewalk
letting go
of a balloon
into a blue sky
i see yr face
tho i never met you
baby i know you
so well

i hear yr voice
tho we've never spoken
pointing out the way
like a storm, like the rain, like the sun
on a little kid's face
touching
the scars)

i climb a ladder
i touch the clouds
i will find you my friend
because you shine
like a storm, like the rain, like the sun
on my face

i will stand
in the center of my universe
+ stars like matches
all over the sky
+ Light
all around yr face

i know you
you know me

forever…
