The Stupid One... Poem by RIC BASTASA

there are more than ways
than one
to tell how i feel about you

summed up with just the usual
i love you
deep from the heart of mine

sometimes words fail
to the rush of love and desire
and it is here where
silence does most of what we
can do to our
varied loneliness as you candidly
say that you love
someone else without the use of
words just like the way you close
your eyes and kiss me too
but somewhere your mind travels to
an island of white sands and
cool coconut trees and a hammock
where you finally swing your life
with the other whom you confess
in the darkness and swear that
everything in you is hers and
everything in hers is yours alone.

the stupid one sleeps and lives
inside a dream full of foolish things.
