Those Simple Words That I Speak To You Poem by RIC BASTASA

many times i want
to go away from simple words
those that you can easily understand
and hence take for granted

words which you think have
no life
which means that i have too
to go away from you

which i cannot
because without you i cannot breathe
i cannot speak
i may die and perhaps i may only

speak those words
that will understand only themselves when i am finally taken
into their bosoms
filled with eternal emptiness
