When The Lover Is Gone When The Beloved Is Dead. Poem by RIC BASTASA

When The Lover Is Gone When The Beloved Is Dead.



in the dark
the beloved listens
as you say

i love you
even if you do not yet
understand
this

i love you and the lover
does not understand it
too

the beloved is helpless
the lover takes hands to wrap
around his body
arms to feel
all eyes closed in the darkness
of their souls

i love you
i beg time for it is that
which makes you
understand this

when the lover is gone
when the beloved is dead.
