Love And Imagination Poem by RIC BASTASA

your hand over mine
i am opening and you are
closing in
trying to keep my warmth
to yours,

i close my eyes and there you
are inside me,
the heart is beating for love
and no other

i levitate at all these quivers
how do i imagine mutual love
since i have never had it since
i have loved someone before
and she said we were not really
meant for each other,

i open my eyes never catching you
you are looking somewhere else
to that window where trees are
lining up for your kind attention.

you do not really love me, i know
how hard it is for you, and now i am
giving up, letting you go, finding
you, finding love, finding your own
version of what should be forever yours.
