That Brief Glance....... Poem by RIC BASTASA

to weight which
one is heavier and blissful,
i tried them all.
i hold your hand,
i kiss your lips
i embrace your body
and we intertwine
like tight vines and
at the apex of that
all, we did, what we meant,
we make love
as often as we can.

and then we part ways,
and want to remember and then
forget

and i weighed which of those
that we did
shall always remain in my heart
and soul.

it was just that glance
that you gave me
when i was down and out
that brief glance
which says that perhaps
you love me too.
