It All Went Far Too Quickly

January 25, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is dance, used metaphorically.

Today’s poem is a love poem expressing regret for not having danced awhile before heading for bed.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

It all went far too quickly when
We started our romance.
We went right for the Broadway stage
Before we learned to dance.

Naturally, we shared the fear
Of intimate intimacy,
And scared to stay while loath to part,
We both longed to be free.

Ah, me! Well, now we're separate
To see how we might feel.
And then perhaps we'll try again.
Our love, I think, is real.

But this time we'll go slow and ask,
Before we head for bed,
If we might try some artful grace
And dance awhile instead.
