I Never Thought Poem by RIC BASTASA

with the scent of my forest and trees lushing
by the side of my three mountains
i have given you the hint to follow me
where we can be happy

i wish upon a potion of immortality
i will give it to you as you promise to stay with me
through and through

i promise you my flesh and bones and spirit
and i thought you believe me

with all these, gleeful sands, and delighting waves of the blue seas
and green leaves glistening from the trees, all these

who in the world would have believed that i would still lose you?

i am blind now and i do not see
my lips are sealed and i cannot speak
