Your Soul Is like the Vastest Sea

April 23, 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 comparing the loved one to the sea:

Your soul is like the vastest sea

And mine a darting fish:

I lose myself within your love;

I live within your heart.

I breathe your love: it is my air,

My element, my world.

I know no other ambiance;

I have no other dream.

I know there is outside your love

A world of rocks and sand;

And I could live there, too, but oh!

How poor and thin each breath!

How rich my world, how beautiful,

Alive within your love,

Each moment filled with dancing light

Refracted through your eyes!
