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 the chains of love, and fearing the
loss of what love might destroy:
Love lingers in the alleyways
And wafts across the
streets,
And knocks upon my
double doors
But never does come
in.
Love finds a home in
entrance ways
And rattles round
retreats,
And scurries past the
faint applause
Just two doors down
from sin.
Ah! Would I love
would I but know
What love might have
in store!
For I have fears of
heavy chains
That jangle in my
joy.
And I have fears of
floods that flow
From asking life for
more.
Silent, I prefer the
gains
Such tempests would
destroy.
