How I Wish You Were Here Poem by RIC BASTASA

how i wish you were here
i sit by my window and you
are just beside me and i become your
face tissue and you are some tears
or we could be something else

or could be that i am the microphone
of the videoke and you are the
song or could be otherwise

or i could be the sofa
and you are the guest sipping beer
or a coca-cola or could be that we
are all guests and we are all the singers
and the rest are the songs and the sofa
and the glasses and the wine
and the ham and bread

whatever, i only wish that you are here beside me.
