Conversations Of The Heart Poem by RIC BASTASA

the first poem that you really find it hard to write
is to write an image which must tell her
that you love her truly from the bottom of your heart, and then
the most beautiful poem comes from her when she admits that she
also loves you with all her heart and soul and mind,

and then the saddest poem
was not written.

it was when everything ended.
the years passed.
and you do not even know
where she is.

it is always the saddest poem,
when you do not know where to find love again.

you say, not anymore, but
it can be a lie, for how can one live without it?

All corners of the world are looking for it.
They seem not to find it,
and all these corners will only stop writing
and talking and speaking
when love is found
when their hearts are
filled,
when their mouths
cannot utter a word,
because of so much abundance,

bliss, joy, happiness,
all these shall make us mute for another hundred years.
(do we ever reach there?)

honestly in making love, (and be in so much trouble loving,)
words do not have use,

love, you embrace me with so much intensity
all my nerves sing, neurons spark with flints,

i explode, finished.
