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 about a love that needs to
dance.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Our love has slowly gone downhill,
Heavy with mundane demands,
The dregs of days spent dutiful
While hunger goes to sleep unfed.
We love each other still, of course,
But love is listless, fretful, tired,
Pining for the potent word
That comes from angels in the heart.
Oh, say it, Love, and I will, too!
And time will wait for us to dance,
Touched by one another's grace
To give what we so long have sought.
There is a passion undismayed
That lives throughout the long, gray days
Of work and worry, knowing that
Our patient love awaits our will.
