RIC BASTASA Poems

there is something in other
people that we all love

adore
...

to the light
we aim ourselves
away from darkness
we swear
...

Life defines in Metabolism,
In reproduction,
we make our miniature selves,
our look alike
...

because people always forgive them
again and again and again and again and again and again...

a form of autism,
...

until then
the moon never says
that it understands
the language of the
...

When the big tree falls
Hit by lightning
Roared by thunder
...

a woman dreams that she turns
into an orange bird
and on the other hand the orange
bird seeing her so beautiful and complete
...

Like an uninvited
Wind, building strength
Gathering more winds
To make a storm
...

at the second look you feel wasted
that beautiful face seemingly should not have been yours
it does not fit
the wrinkled soul
...

just,
one,
thing,
...

Keep talking ﮮ
while i sing

♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫
...

</>HE'D BEEN there
he likes it
he will be coming over
to stay quite longer
...

it is not only the mind
they promise you if you agree
it is also the heart
...

to see the world
crying
to hear the sweet sound
of its rain
...

a
bonsai
poem
of love
...

ok, let us talk about life

my cat Kuting has just given birth
to three kittens
...

18.

three stars in the heavens

one for you
another for her
...

The sun is harsh, the winds are cruel
The trees unfeeling, the soil so unsympathetic
The stones lack the courage, the grasses lose the enthusiasm
The clouds spiritless
...

it is a
1599 word
from the
latin facetiae
...

The Best Poem Of RIC BASTASA

' The Last Dance Of Your Life '

i



you don't really have to mind
death
what power do you have for it

when it comes
it comes
none can prevent it
from sitting beside you

the doctors are honest
and sometimes
too stupid to give you a promise
for another extension of
life

a hope that poisons the mind instead
and makes
our recent stand rigid and
unreasonable

for those who have seen the light
on one hand
sees death as
a welcome experience
in fact a festivity
another coming experience
another full moon
at the bay

another bus that has arrived in a far away town

another train that honks proudly its arrival
in another station

another flight to a distant sky that dresses the world
and puts it to a very silent sleep

and this time
whether you like it or not
you are set upon this journey
that gives you fear
because there is no ticket
for your coming back

it is the false notion that
you can never come back


ii

you don't have to panic
take this as easy
as unbuttoning a shirt

zippering a pair of pants
and unzipping it when
the evident and the inevitable
comes
when the urge signifies
an unloading

well, it looks like
we simply have to pull a string
let the curtain fall
and just be ready for the next
show
of the garden blooming
on the month of
May

just the same
make the best out of it
dance, dance
till you tire

but fall if you must, slip if you can
have no shame
there is still another chance
really
&
they call it
a surprise to nowhere
upon
somewhere.....

on top of the mountain the village appears like tiny dots just like the problems that we bear unnecessarily.

i am shallow and it comforts you.

it is not always that the early bird gets the worm. Sometimes, the worm gets the bird on early mornings.
