Commenting On Tony's Poem....Deciphering... Poem by RIC BASTASA

a darling leaves appetite of sweet tongue
In a pointed bit of the heart with a daring
stunt of a satisfy embrace, take my desire to
cleanse my nothingness

(do you desire to remove the emptiness?
that sweet tongue that licks the heart of the lonely man,
that embrace that puts suns in the bosom?)

oh! garrison of sweet request, the bounty
hold on to catch the endless venture of
lasting memories to lend on the rapacious
appetite of my bosom soul

(the garrison of delights, those memories
that lust, what appetite is there?)

tarnish it with snapshot delight of nothing
and forward the driven heart to ponder the
quest of emptiness, I induce to pieces of
great surrender

(did you drive your heart towards more empty spaces?)
do you intend to surrender? and quit? and embrace defeat?)


where can I turn to, when the journey
shallow by the night of rapture, sail on that
envy of my cause for only in giving fully, the
enduring heart has had come to voyage
endlessly

(do you have no one to turn to?
is your heart a boat that shall sail endlessly?
no destination? no port? nothing about the idea of any
home for eventual return? just in case?)
