Of Sparks And Hearts Poem by RIC BASTASA

of what can we claim
that we say deep from our
hearts?

love? overused, abused,
molested, that is what people always
say
sometimes without meaning
anymore
cliches, cliches,

nothing of that spark
for those that come from the heart
without even trying
hard to say it

its the hug that speaks
the kiss that seals
the hand that touches the
shoulder
the eyes that see not
what we are
not

what can we see from
the heart?
veins, blood,
muscles.
