Joys Turning Like Daisy Chains Around Our Hair Poem by RIC BASTASA

when love works in our hearts
we are bound
not with anxiety or envy or hatred

for love works spontaneously
and two hates become a chain of affection

when we go inside a cafe
we have coffee for each and a nice
conversation to share

everything, whatever which is rough
or creased
is smooth again

like ripples turning to silk
on the surface of a disturbed water

we are friends again
talking about how much we miss each other's
company

laughter reigns
joys turning like daisy chains around our hair.
