..In Love..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

never was it
that i felt what love is
until i kissed you.

there was nothing sexual
yet, nothing of that fusion
sort

there was no bloody moon
there was not slit in the sky of the
morning sun
from a long cold night

it was just a kiss
just a hold of the hand
just a touch of your hair
but i felt what love is

there is no word for it
but just a description,

you too closed your eyes
as i did mine, and you do not
have to tell me,
what we both have seen.
