...One Sky.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i see you in that body
it is not that body
it is you that is in my mind
in that other body
it is you which i do not have
but i will have that body
since i cannot have you
that is why there is a need for
me to switch off the light

close my eyes and inside my mind
i must, by all means, make you
my one and only poem from the thousands
of my scribbling.

you do not realize how hard it is
to make a poem as you, one which i
cannot touch, not because i cannot,
but because it should be not.

so i live in the darkness of my hours
in the middle of this world's light.
so i have to live in my mind in the
hypocrisy of all flesh and bones that
keep on saying things which are not.

i do not invite you to be with me.
my world is exclusive. all doors are closed.
and there is only one window, into my soul,
the exit of which goes up to only one blue sky.
