Sugar Solutions.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the world you must
know have created nooks
for hidden feelings

it has caves for secrets
that are as sweet as
passion

fruits whose vines intertwine
with iron grills
like hands to the fingers of
fingers

the world of houses have
rooms for all our desires
mostly, those that we prefer
not to be divulged
for fear of fear for anxieties
that remain to be self-inflicted

and so i have a corner of my own
where i can take you for a kiss
dimly lighted, but which i most prefer
to be darker than dark
till i cannot see you but only feel you
till our bodies are not even shadows
but just the beatings of feelings,

for it is here where we are so real,
no longer deceived by the bulges of our
flesh, by the color of our veins, by
the sharpness of our looks,

in the dark, we are scents of ourselves,
we are souls, we are floating senses,
we are merely sounds.

here we are, without seeing anything.
here we are, making love, making thoughts,

i am not me anymore, neither are you.
we are fused, sugar solutions.
