Poetry Blog Poem by RIC BASTASA

my daily online
poetry, a blog
of nothing but
thoughts of

stone, petal,
raindrop,
a threadlike
composition
of colors
and scents
and personalized
designs

depicting
mood swings
moral, amoral
or otherwise

goes and goes
like a train
of thoughts
day by day

chronologically
relevant
trying always
to figure out
who am i

really

it is not to entice
or corrupt

it is merely
a signification of

here i am
are you there too?

no climbing
of ladders
or blowing of horns
no choir
of angels
or boasting
of this

oh my God
what a coincidence
you think
the way i think

nope, there is nothing
worthy of my poetry
even myself

this write, all the poems
but a poetry blog

and so by now
express your angst

shout, rage,
cool dude, subdue
subdued

a stream
of consciousness

the turtle swimming in the
deepest part of
this ocean

clouds like cotton
submerging
to your pond

i watch, yes, let me watch
i speak, yes, let me speak

truly, i am not interested,
i write,
because i have something to write,
this destiny,
of i cannot get away,

yes, call me a rambling thought,

i am, i am, i am
it is all about, this i am, i am, i am,

today, i am, i am feeling this heaviness
and you sit
in the dark corner, telling me,

why do you write poetry,
and yet here i am dying, and you do not really mind.....

i beg of you,
do not try to figure out, to understand, i beg

of you,
this is nothing, go away, go somewhere

i am a cloud, i drift, i am this space groping for letters,
a word will not do, i beg, i beg of you.....
