Our Love Poem by RIC BASTASA

sweet love enters the mouth
from your mouth
sweet love from the sweat
of your body
sweet love from the fluids
of your groans
to the stiffness of my
pleasures

love hovers in the eyes
closed eyes in ecstasy
that is what is truth
that is it all about

the time for growing old
and death comes
i take everything every fluid in my mouth
and then i look at you
with all the wasted years that we share
i hear you speaking through a sigh.
