Le Charabia Poem by RIC BASTASA

i gobble words one day
when you wish to listen
what i want to say, i
wish you shall not understand
because actually there is no
use now
for understanding, since

not to know sometimes is
beautiful
in its mystery that attaches
to my
acceptability somehow

i feel secure staying
on a chatter
where the threads of my sentences
weave nothing

how many times did i sigh now?
you hear more of its gibber
when you decide to close the door
for me
when you close your eyes
because
i have become unbearable to myself

with all the weights
of my being
all concentrated inside my head
where my heart
grapples for love that is no longer
there

inside my path i meet
a stranger
someone that i love
without
length of time, there is
no meeting
to speak of between understanding
and compassion

i wish i were you
but i will never tell you

a silent moon a still pool
a boat glides soundlessly
and we are not facing each other
dreaming of wings...
