Something/Someone Poem by RIC BASTASA

something that is so beautiful
that i want to hug, kiss, and even sleep with
something so near and yet i keep faraway
something to touch and yet i will not
something that makes me so alive
and i may kill myself
something that makes my blood runs
wildly inside my veins
something that disrupts and makes
my heart burst into bliss
something that i can only think of
but i cannot speak
someone, actually someone so special
so dear, and yet i must set aside
and let go
something that i love
and cannot be mine
someone with me
but must not even know
that i exist
