About Last Night... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i've seen love
it is beautiful

my whole life
soon revolves
around it,

it goes around me
and i am carried away

like a dream

it is so beautiful
i do not wish to
wake up,

it stops

i fall out
i wake up

but i am not
crying anymore

i know love
it moves away

i cannot stop it
from leaving

i stand up
and too
walk away
just like love
itself

i've seen love
as a bird
flying away from me

i walk the road
under those trees

i have no complaint
it's been that way

i've learned to live love
along the road
on a sunny day

it was about
last night

i still think about it
miles away
today

i've known love
and that is enough for me

i don't keep it
it goes away

i write about love
just that way.
