Mojo Haiku

I got a juju on my haiku
I got a mojo on my sutra too
And all she did was barely look my way
State of grace in the wink of an eye
One startlin' moment face to face and I was through
Finished with this folderol
Free from all this lah-dee-dah and whoop-dee-do

She took me like a rollin' river runnin' wide
Just like some sacred recitation
Fulfill some longin' somewhere deep inside
Somethin' that defies communication

I'm enlightened since she looked my way
Gave me what I needed all this time
Walked right through he door
And I saw what I was lookin' for
The kinda place where words ain't worth a dime

I was spendin' too much time alone
Seekin' liberation in some sacred rhyme
Too much thought, too much idle time
But that all changed with the touch of her hand
She brought some fundamental passions into play
No doubt about it, I felt the darkness start to slip away

No way I could keep from fallin'
Hallelujah I could hear my callin'
Ringin' through the moonlit night
Givin' me the eyes to see the light

I'm enlightened since she looked my way
Gave me what I needed all this time
Walked right through he door
And was just what I was lookin' for
The kinda place where words ain't worth a dime

I'm talkin' 'bout the land beyond the pale
The kinda thing that ain't for sale

I'm enlightened since she looked my way
Gave me what I needed all this time
Walked right through he door
And I saw what I been lookin' for
The kinda place where words ain't worth a...

I'm enlightened since she looked my way
Gave me what I needed all this time
Walked right through he door
And I saw what I been lookin' for
The kinda place where words ain't worth a dime
