Let Me Love You Well, if Not Too Long

April 28, 2018

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 arguing that love should be free:

Let me love you well, if not too long,

For passion is a lover of fresh air,

Relishing the landscape that is there.

Brief though it be, fulfillment can’t be wrong.

Let me make you part of my sweet song,

As I will be of yours, that both more fair

May part, enriched by what we share,

More seized by life, more gentle, and more strong.

For passion is a gift one should not squander

For fear of loss, losing life's best joy,

The ecstasy that we were meant to feel.

And if it comes and goes, then we must wander,

Enjoying what we're given to enjoy,

Reveling in what our loves reveal.
