Forty-Four3

February 12, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is romantic love.

Today’s poem is a number and love poem about ecstasy and love.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Forty-four finds happiness at home,

Old enough to know the price of love.

Regarding ecstasy: It comes and goes,

Though with affection will enduring prove.

Yet ecstasy cannot bring joy alone.

For one must ever choose the love one chose,

Opening a door that else would close,

Uniting souls with words that would hearts move,

Restoring gardens to a world of stone.
