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

A love poem about the need for risk and trust in love:
How can I persuade you I'm sincere,
That my affection
equals my desire?
I can tell you what
you want to hear,
But there's no way
to prove I'm not a liar.
Time may tell, but
how much time must pass
Before you are
convinced by what I do?
My eyes are eyes,
not windows made of glass
Through which you
can see clearly what is true.
Love cannot be, but
at the risk of pain.
Nothing can be
guaranteed to last.
Mere longing leads
to neither loss nor gain.
One must bet before
the dice are cast.
I know I love you,
but you cannot know
My heart unless you
trust that it is so.
