Besame Mucho..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

this morning
i write more poems
as i listen to
some old songs,

and remember those
dances
with you and so many
others
which i do not deny
after all
that i too have loved
so many

besane mucho
quizas quiza
tango santa maria
dance me to the end of
life....

i guess, this ends,
what we had,
what we shared, what
we had kept

the red rose
sub rosa,
the dying rose,
scattered petals
flowing in that
river of love.
