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

A name and wedding poem about how love grows stronger over
time:
Exactly when did love come to your
hearts,
Vesting something
one in something twain,
Exchanging simple
wholes for complex parts,
Less purely self,
more vulnerable to pain?
Yet passion often
migrates into need,
Not needing much to
crave unfeigned affection;
And so each craving
does the other feed,
Need serving need as
bond against rejection.
Doubt not such sweet
sense can be sustained,
Not by passion, but
by will and grace.
In long-lived love
there's too much to be gained,
Convectively, to
easy unembrace.
Oceans well up
richly well within,
Letting go the air
that we begin
Avidly to breathe,
with passion burning,
So fraught with love
no years can hold our yearning.
