A Complete Poem Poem by RIC BASTASA

i like to start it with a naughty word
like the one that slaps your butt
and you smile and even giggle
(you like it too
you like to simply start with lust)

and then i write more words
something that cares and worries
about you
our future about us in the middle of
this long and lonely journey

and i will put some pauses
a little stop here and there
but i will not be staying for long
there will be interjections
and even emotional bursting
no sobbing
but exclamations of joy
nothing to annoy
but definitely there will be no questions

and then we will be there somewhere
until the strong light begins to slowly fade

and then, of course, you must agree,
and this will be free
surely, i will put a happy ending
red curtains falling with matching music marching
and then later something romantic live a
violin playing with flute accompanying
this fugue of love

yes,
it is all about love & passion
those that conquer all
age and wisdom
and monotony

and then i put on the finishing undertones of faith
this final fidelity

and the color of sunset
and then on a peaceful night
you shall hear
a white dove that coos in its cozy nest
deep down into a very sound sleep....
