Debts of Love
On the wrong horse we placed our bet
Feral lust was our middle name
Carrying burden of our shame
Our heart was trapped in desire’s net
Root cause, bondage to mind-body
Succumbing to thought forms shoddy
We’re filled with remorse and regret
So we’ve turned now inward our gaze
Silence sets us free from the maze
We embraced not all who we met
So we chose to make a fresh start
Simply by melding head with heart
Now breath by breath, we pay love’s debt
One with oneness, in surrender
As rises within, bliss thunder
On the wrong horse we placed our bet
Our heart was trapped in desire’s net
We’re filled with remorse and regret
We embraced not all who we met
Now breath by breath, we pay love’s debt
