There Is Nothing Much That I Shall Take Away From You. Poem by RIC BASTASA

now that i have
seen and touched
you from the tips of
your hair
to the tips of your
toe
now that i have
tasted each drop
and savored each
time
when we were
together i shall
now leave
with all my confidence
for i am now
strong
and peaceful

there is no beauty
that can tempt
me
there is no lust
which can
defeat me

all i have is
this memory of your
love for me
and now that i
have decided to go
there is nothing
much that i shall
take away
from you.
