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

A poem about fearing love after fights:
How can I have a fight with my best
friend?
The mountain blows,
the landscape is destroyed.
A desert where there
once were fields and gardens.
Black lava where
flowers once brought joy.
And then shoots of
grass come through the blackness;
Slowly love asserts
itself again.
He calls, I cry, we
go through days of whispers,
And fields once more
grow lush in sun and rain.
Ah! but now I'm
fearful of the mountain:
I walk by trembling,
set for it to blow.
Life's beautiful, but
also very painful;
I have the strength
to love, now that I know.
