Those Lips Poem by RIC BASTASA

i see you today and you give me a smile
no kiss is planted in my lips but just the same i made some notes of our meeting

i believe that your spirit is carrying your body like a mask.
and so i disregard your body, as it is the one carried because what matters to me is the carrier, the holder, the mover, the real life.

then we meet face to face
. I disregarded the face.
I like to feel you as spirit.

you should have disregarded my body too.
and there lies the difference

you take me as a body,
a face,
a hand,
a navel.

and you are telling me,
that with just one touch from you,
hand to hand,
i am real.

i must have missed something.
i must have forgotten.

those lips.
