In Love Poem by RIC BASTASA

love i must say has no limitations
its nature is pervading,
always in the mood for sharing
resources, physical and whatever

it does not stay
in one place, it travels to places
of the heart, expands, evaporates
and become the part of the clouds
the essence of an ever protecting sky

love, i must say, cannot be limited
to just one person,
it goes beyond unity and fidelity
it is always giving itself to another,

i am not hiding, i am love,
i am married, but it does not really matter,
it is man that makes marriages,
it is man that breaks this law
this law that limits the power of love
to love and love and love again and again

how can i conceal this love
that i have for you?
it burns itself, makes a smoke, goes out of the chimney
and shows itself to you

it gives you the smell of my soul
it pleads
to be loved in return
but even if you do not reciprocate it
it goes beyond refusal
it goes up again
and become part of heaven
the universe, the galaxies,
the infinite....
