Lovers Meeting Beside A River Poem by RIC BASTASA

two lovers meet beside a river
they are on to something prohibited
but they cannot be stopped
by your beliefs &
dogmas and

penal laws do not work at all
to give them neither fear
nor regret

for their love is strong



so strong
so uninhibited
the feelings that gush like a river
flowing

naked they touch their bodies
their hands exploring all the possibilities
of love
they kiss, they make love
they lay their bodies on the grass
rolling, one on top of the other,
tight, and warm
sweat and salivations
until the apex is reached
the climax of love
the ecstasy
the fulfillment and then
the much needed rest
the other one sleeps
and dreams
the other one smokes
blows a breath
to the sky
makes circles
and plays with the
images of the clouds
at night
when the moon shines
so bright
and the star glitter

no one knows about this
except the river and the trees

the trees sing
the river flows

and then the sun shines
the morning after
the two shadows are gone
leaving some traces
on the grass

dried sweat
disturbed grass
some maps
without names
