A Little Thought Of You Poem by RIC BASTASA

sometimes i think
i can love again
how i wish
to have that spark
of this engine
this machinery of
eternity
this love that must
make me
travel more into
ecstasy


sometimes i give up
love and even hope

until you come into the
domains of my life
until i break all my walls
until i shatter like
a great wall
until the moon begins
to speak to me
until the grass has become
green again
and then the rivers flow again
filling the bed
with its abundant water
