If You Really Want To Know Me Poem by RIC BASTASA

If you want to know me
Transcend the lines of my smooth skin
Look at me and
Embrace every moment
Of my past and present

If you really like to know me
Meet me in the dark
Then at the fading light
Resurrect and then free me

Love me with all your cares
Like a free home free from doubts and blames
Sow the seeds of awe to glory without end
Offer them all to me
If you love me and want to know me

If you really want to know me
Swim into my being deeper into my bones
Then fly to the tip of my mind
Hover to the top of my soul
I am naked there: from head to foot.
