Someday I May Leave You Poem by RIC BASTASA

there will be a time of reckoning
and someday i will have the will to leave
everything like the leaves heaping at the side
of my door, and i will slowly take my
sighs away from the wind beside my window.

do not leave the door half open
for some changes my senses will have no time
for doubts. When i leave, i leave and even if
the monsters and storms in my open sea
shall become unbeatable,

i shall prefer my own sinking
to the deepest part of the ocean

my decent burial grounds.
