Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is romantic love.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A love poem about discovering what love feels like:
I never thought I'd fall in love with you.
I thought someday, of course, I'd fall in love.
But what it felt like, I just never knew;
I'd no idea what I was thinking of.
And then, somewhere between my need and pleasure,
Walking neither overjoyed nor sad,
I looked into my heart and saw a treasure
Worth more than anything I'd ever had.
Ah! This is love! I thought. And then I wanted
To give my life to see your happiness.
Suddenly, from nowhere, I was haunted,
Needy, joyful, tearful, glad, obsessed.
My love for you has brought me out of me.
The world’s more precious, now that I can see.
