Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day.
Today’s poem is about being alone on Valentine’s Day.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
The day of love requires a companion,
But I find myself at this time all alone.
Words of sweet affection fill the morning
Like bells outside the windows of my room.
I don't know why I don't have someone with me.
I've loved and been loved through the restless years.
The mysteries of love I hold within me
Are a darkness unrelieved by moon and stars.
And yet I feel more love than I have ever
Felt within the circle of a kiss.
Love need not be a passion or a fever,
Nor does it need a hand for its caress.
Love does not require a companion.
It doesn't need an object or a home.
It flies above the ecstasy of morning
And fills the universe inside my room.
