A Happy Moment Poem by RIC BASTASA

inside an old restaurant
i order hot choco
and sweet rice cake

not so expensive
and we are not so hungry

but oh my
when we finally take the glances
of our faces

the glow of our eyes
burning like fire
we want to consume more
we want to be consumed the more

hungry for love we leave the place
the fires still burning in our hearts

the rain outside
can never put off what was burning inside us

love is always and shall always be
unstoppable,
unquenchable, insatiable like a burning ball of fire

in the space of our desires
