What Is the Sign of Love That Tells Me When

September 23, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is romantic love.

Today’s poem is a teenage love poem asking how one might know one is in love.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

What is the sign of love that tells me when

A friendship and a crush are something more?

How can I know what life may have in store

When all the clues must lie beyond my ken?

How much happiness is love? And then

How much and long must it endure before

I recognize that strange and distant shore

Beyond which I won't have to ask again?

I do not know, but trust that when I do

The answer will surround me like old fields

On which the things I hunger for will grow.

For now I share the mystery with you,

Waiting for what young affection yields,

And for the time when both of us will know.
