Perhaps At Night After Making Love With You I Can Write Objectively What Is Real From What Is Not. Poem by RIC BASTASA

there is no intention
to compete
it is just by coincidence
that we meet
and i begin to notice how
beautiful are you

objectively you are ugly
and i blame myself for such
a low standard
but there it is
this amazement why such an
ugliness could still trigger
desire

at this point in time
logic fails
what matters most is this
feeling that i am alive
and that i desire you

perhaps at night after making
love with you
i can write objectively what
is real from what is not.
