Putting My Feet Inside Your Shoes Poem by RIC BASTASA

empathy

i shall enter your domains
vicariously
from my mind
to your feelings,
and thoughts
it is the same
sadness i have
been keeping
like your ring

i may lose
myself in the process
of loving you much
like rain pouring
all over you

it is me
here and now
with you
i can always
feel you

i shall kiss you
you will be nearer
to the beatings of my heart
the quivers of my soul

by this
i too, shall become
the mirror of myself
we become one
in namelessness

it is me in you
it is you in me
