Why A Love Poem Is Always Relevant... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i plan to write why a love poem is no longer relevant,
tried to figure out the rationale for trying
i stop i pause and then i raise my head went to the mirror
and find myself again, and i have arrived to a place where
i once left, and where i was once left out, a place where
i should have cried but i did not because i simply couldn't
let a tear fall for no valid reason,
and this is it, a love poem is always relevant, since it never
moved a mountain, never consumed the sea, never stopped the clouds,
and this i concur, as i have just recently read yours:

it is nice. as always love unrequited
blooms like a cactus with red petals above the thorns
in the same desert.

over and over again.
