Bodies Are Left Out Floating Poem by RIC BASTASA

how i wish
i can

be inside you
and

explore the
possibilities

of my being
but i know that

i am
always not what
i am

when i am inside
you
i deny all that
i could be

i am not
unfolded


there is pain inside
my heart

what appeases it
is what we both do not
like
to happen

i take side
with the comfort of my days

that soon
they all fade away and
take me

to the right place that
i always
dream

it is yet empty but soon
i know
it shall be full

feelings are compasses
the destination of paradise is not just
an idea

it is
i can be
it can


bodies are left out floating
spirits rise like suns above the mountains
killing
darkness
