To Have You.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i

we streak molds
to find a behavior
a lifetime

in the same manner
we only take a
pinch of our realities
to introduce our true names

ii

i do not have to drink
the whole ocean to know
what salt is

tersely put
i do not have to know all the details
to have you for love

an hour shall be mine
and you are mine forever

just one slice of you
and i shall be full

iii

even if you leave me
i shall have everything of you
in an atom of a memory

i am not as selfish as this
universe that gathers in her breasts
all the stars and planets
all suns all galaxies

iv

just a dropp of you
is already the whole ocean
a whole century of rain
a continent of space.
