Everybody Needs a Geoff


Everybody Needs a Geoff

I first saw you on the grass
Wooden swords you swung so fast
I was swift and on the go
Who is that there? Fucking weirdo

Hours passed, the day was late
I knew you were my new roommate
Fear gripped my heart, for I could see
You touched too much, damn, don’t touch me

Later on that night I found
That we had some common ground
You had taken mushrooms too
A different aura surrounds you

You told me then infused with love
How heart’s broke open, spread above
Tumult and strife, and death, and sex
A strange and wonderful, loving hex

The hex you spread to me as well
Through hundred days of vajra hell
I wrestled, shrieking, scalding pains
That filled my chest, I shook, insane

You kissed my foot a fated night
And I recoiled for in your sight
Spontaneous moods arise and pass
And I was thinking of my ass

About my ass? O yes I say!
The love between us grew each day
And in that vibrant loving space
Confused thoughts of sex were laced

But later on I came to see
You did not want to cum in me
Nor I in you, and this is solved
Our love so strong, and uninvolved

4 months passed, retreat was done
In pre-dawn light we climbed, for fun
Protector’s hill and in the ice
Glittering diamonds, dazzling, nice

Supporting me through each tirade
That my restless ego made
You showed your friendship right away
And now continue every day

What joy it is to live with you
My dharma brother, Vajra boo!
This poem seems silly, uninspired
But so deep down my love is mired

Cause everybody needs a Geoff
Until no suffering is left
In all the worlds, in all of space
In you I see the Buddha’s face

    And also, we all need Andrew.

    (Your rhymes are hilarious and your honesty somehow transcends them.)

  2. This is such a beautiful poem! I am touched and honored. Everybody needs an Andrew too, at the very least I know I do!

    Would that I could rhyme like you so I could share my love too.
    Maybe I shall try some day but there may be some delay : )
