Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
Today’s poem is a 13th anniversary poem about
luck in love.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
The luck in love lies mainly at the start,
Having to do with meeting and attraction.
Indeed, the passion that undoes the heart
Remains, at heart, a chemical reaction.
Thereafter, love is on its own, and must
Each hour, each day, each year renew its glory.
Ellipsis may be suitable for lust;
No love lasts long without a proper story.
The luck in love for us lies far behind:
Here love is knowing, wise, and far from blind.
