play just play
Oh do not rely on your intellect too much
reasons have failed me
not once but most of the time
destroying my heart
for not
considering my emotions
junking what i feel
like i am a stone
aloof in the river
what i do now is that i play
like a child
ruled by my instincts
dictated as i am
by my conscience
about my inner necessities
it is this creative mind
now
playing with the one
that i really love
this passion
for doing what i really love to do
to include
this poetry
and loving you
RIC S. BASTASA
