Feelings Poem by RIC BASTASA

to feel that one which gets under your skin
love's mistaken notion
about endearment of an irritation
one wants to get rid of that sting
not the one inflicted by the bee
but by one that makes your whole world whirl
and fills with the lighter colors of the rainbows
your small cluttered world

singing for instance under the rain
does it remove the pain
underneath your skin?

nope.

temporary remedies, like a warm touch that leaves you
alone after a very short moment
of contact

feel the feeling felt for a very short moment like a smile
a kiss at the airport and then the plane becomes a dot thrown away
towards the distant skies

nothing lasts
that is why, and i say i very well understand why people like us
whom they dub as lost and irreconcilable

keep on writing
we wish things and feelings last but these do not really

their nature is airy and is simply blown away and
no miracle makes it come back and kiss you again.

alright, let the breath go, it is not yours anyway.
