From Pain.......... Poem by RIC BASTASA

after the rain
you stay by the window

you look beyond
this frame of mind

you listen to the
drops of rain from the
roof down to the
ground

last drops paving the
way to solitude as your
eyes begin to blink for


that feeling that soon
someone you love soon shall
cry for a reason

a pinch of salt another
smell of pepper
a cup of coffee and a
sandwich of ham and lettuce

you will remember a bit
but you have taken all the courage
to finally forget

one moves on in peace
after a thorough reflection
a self reconstructs
a future is shaped again
from pain....
