Time And Light And Human Memory Poem by RIC BASTASA

Time is revealed. Sand used to keep it in a glass vial.
Now time escapes and flies and seeks
The help of light
Takes it to space and travels so fast
To cope up with its longing
She is somewhere out there with the comets and stars

It is overtaking memory
Failing, falling short
Human forgetfulness
But there is such a fast catalyst sensing like
A magical nose

Love, passion, longing, belonging, seeking, wanting to be complete
To be perfect

Memory smells the sweat of her love
And sticks to
Faith: this is her, this is her, and there is nobody else
I cannot be mistaken there can no one else this is her

And time bends
And time stands still
As human memory begs for another meeting for another understanding

Though so short, brief,
It will be a memory of some light years

Smelling sensually sipping the sweat of someone
Somewhere now. Here. Here is forever.

Time travels so slowly with the person you love,
Light infuses, diffuses and intensifies
Pain forces forgetting, letting go what used to be important

Now everything yields, everything must go as destined.
