Wall To Wall.......... Poem by RIC BASTASA

we were together
but still far apart

this situation never
change
and it will not change
us again

we are back into the
reality of our situation
which upon acceptance
sets us both free

into the arms of another
we find at last what repulses us
and like some thrown stones
we find the turning point

back into each others' arms
we ask: what is the next choice?
and we look at each others' eyes
concluding: there is none.

back to living now, this is
the house.
back to our reality: this is
what we are.

make me coffee, bring it to me
sit beside me, we talk
about anything else under the
sun.

you see, we have no other.
you must feel, how is it just to be
us, and nobody else.

soul mates. our bodies have parted.
it was not the kiss which bound us.

feel me. you are also another stone
by now. the winds are cold, but we

are here for each other. wall to wall.
