Your Guests, The Moon And Stars........ Poem by RIC BASTASA

i knew you
since then but
then
i mastered the
art of
concealment, which

is too beautiful
with all the masks
and sudden
invisibility,

it is a thrill
to see and not be
seen

to say and not
feel,

to be there and
not there,

soon, you take
light, and then flight
and then settle
in solitude,

it is the silence
which you got but
this time

you give up light
and embrace the
darkness expecting

your guests, the moon
and stars.
