Today I See You Poem by RIC BASTASA

today i see you again
you are near me and
i can smell the sweat
that i love, our hands
touch and our gazes
meet and i stop the
world from spinning.

you do not know
Sisyphus is my friend
and i know what i am
going to be and to do.

my role is to love you
yours to feel nothing.
you do not know this
how you break my heart.
you do not know how
from the beginning
i have always loved you
how your eyes are blind
how your hands so unfeeling.

i am happy to see you now
your angry eyes your
indifferent gaze like strong
light stabs my beating heart

i have a reason not to love you.
i was born not to love you.
i know, that is the law and i am
here not to complain but to follow.
