Sometimes Time Cracks Open like a Nut

April 29, 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 poem about love and time:

Sometimes time cracks open like a nut,

Revealing life's meat neatly nestled in.

Between such moments time is like a river

Flowing towards some dark and angry dream.

My love for you breaks through the skin of sky,

Breaks through the dream of time, more real than real.

I choose to anchor life on this fixed point,

A passion deep enough to plumb the sea.

Did this love choose me when we first met?

Was I seized by something more than life?

All I know is through our love I've found

A loveliness more tangible than time.
