Wasting Our Time In Poetry.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

you find this
poetry moment a waste of
time,
and you may call us
foolish,
and too sentimental
for nothing
so important, but here
we are,
yes, wasting our time,
and working for nothing
(because we are
enjoying this poetry
moment)
and what are we really
doing? ahh, feeding our
souls with food,
refreshing the roses in
our hearts,
caressing the hairs
of our goddesses,
making love with time,
waiting for its bloom
of hope and love
and beauty, and all
the stars of heaven
wink, giving us
after all, the finest
moments.
