I Want to Help You Fly

September 29, 2018

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 paradox of wanting what’s best for a lover, but not if it means losing him or her.

I want to help you fly,

But not away from me.

I want what's best for you,

But fear what that might be.

There is no paradox

More difficult than this:

That I would die for you,

Yet not give up your kiss.

So do not mind my madness;

Fly bravely, if you must:

I'll watch you, happy in your joy,

And teach my heart to trust.
