A Cloud In My Mind That I Still Love That Much.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

changed
course, trying
to find
out, if, i will
not touch anything,
you,
you will miss me
if you will
find a way, to touch
me, if,
i could see you,
blank to the
the overwhelming
beauty of the
mountains,
cliffs,
skies, seas, and
stars.

changed course,
trying to get away
from that bermuda
triangle of
sinking, aboard this
boat of
sin, which i call love,
as i
want once to confide
with you,

you still have
no word for it,
whatsoever, no
word for me
no word
for that
moment

you are a puzzle
a riddle,
and i still have not
figured out
what you really are

a cloud in my mind
that i still
confess loving
that much....
