To Say You Are My World Means

July 11, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is summer: its storms, its gentle winds, its fruit, its flowers.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A love poem comparing the beauty of love to that of a late summer evening:

To say you are my world means:

That when I look at the sky

I see your face,

And when I pause alone at the window

I feel your hands on my back.

It means:

That the beauty of a garden

Is half in the words I think to you;

That winter is my fear of losing you,

And that spring is the hope I never will.

It means:

That I have taken the risk of wrapping my life

So completely around yours

That the beauty of a late summer evening is

Inseparable from the beauty of our love.
