For My Sweetie Poem by RIC BASTASA

Slowly you shall let them see your eyes
Lifting some veils and setting aside the curtains
To let in some light
The air to freshen a bit of this
Twosome Discomfort
This hiding and pretending not to seek
What lies ahead
The two of us
You dream you are a butterfly
And you tell them one night
That you have known how to flutter
Away from me
Into the world of your own dreams
I have no cause to hold you now
On your powdered wings
You shall go to farther places
Even without me
Mapping out your destinations
I will be sad for a while
But I will be happy soon
I have let you be
I shall set you free
To be yourself again
Now you must tell me
How the nectar of your chosen flowers taste
