I Feel My Heart I Keep My Mind.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

when two people
meet and swear that
they love each other
and that they will
love each other
till death do them
part

it is because of some
reasons within
which others do not
really tell

sometimes you have to
simply accept that love
can be a deception
just words and cannot be
matched by action
just promises, just promises
which are meant
not to be complied with

where am i? am i lost?
have i been deceived into
romance and illusion?

onelearns at the end
of the tunnel that gives
one full light
a full view of the lake
nearby
to the sea which becomes
endless
to the horizon
to a sunset that fades
but at least
had given you the
sad colors of
beautiful memories
of the days
gone by....

where am i? ahh, i am here
in this body,
i feel my heart
i keep my mind....
