Happy Moments Poem by RIC BASTASA

inside your room i keep some peelings
of ripe oranges, and i squeeze them when you finally
take your rest,

at the top of the cabinet i keep a glass of blended strawberries
less the yogurt, and i keep the window open for you
to see the fullness of the moon tonight
and the calmness of the lake,

silvery and shiny and shining
the view is just perfect for the two of us and then

we do what we really want to do
we kiss, we intertwine, we make love, we become one

with the stars and the silence of the spaces of this beautiful universe.
