Everyone Else Is Doing The Same Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is the prohibited kiss
that ignites the fire in you.

so why regret it?

it is the forbidden kiss
that keeps you moving the whole day

so why deny yourself that?

you plant a kiss on forbidden lips
and there it grows like a fire on the lips
of another

keep the flame
in the silence of your living heart.

open the room and pretend
that nothing has been forbidden

face the world with gladness
show your smile

and make believe that everyone
else

is actually doing the same.
