My Request For You Poem by RIC BASTASA

We are in the middle of this dark
World,
You and I, too distant
Like poles of the earth
Too silent
Like the deepest floor of the
Sea

Let me ask you for your hands
So I may hold them
Like the sweet flowers of our
Youth

Let me take you to the light
Beyond us
That my father left me once
Before he left
To another world

Let me be beside you
And feel you
In the middle of this darkness
You and I

Together let us move towards
The light
Let me ask for your hands
That I may hold them again
Feel the warmth of my hands
Hear the beating of my heart

Let me tell you again and again
I love you so much
