The Thieves Of Youth.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Thieves Of Youth....



love cannot
thrive that long
stealing

were we not
once kids stealing
eggs from
bird's nests?

we cannot be kids
for that long
how can there be
birds?

did we not feel
excited over another
neighbor's mango?

they will understand
how kids are
but we are not kids
anymore

we shy away from
stolen moments
we take glances and
walk away
because now we have
understood fully
what is not ours.
