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

An anniversary poem about the need for discipline in love:
Harvests do require times of
planting:
After months of
labor comes the prize.
Peace arrives at
evening, passion slanting;
Pleasure, deep and
true, is no surprise.
Yet on the way, in
moments of affection,
A glance can turn
the heart to liquid gold.
No paradise has ever
reached perfection,
Nor is love less
rich as one grows old.
In love there is
infinity and time:
Vast truths are
glimpsed just past the ecstasy;
Each moment comes
complete with wind and chime,
Reminding us of what
it means to be.
Sing, then, of goals
that discipline require,
And loves that years
of loyalty inspire,
Revealing joys that
over time accrue,
Yet are eternal,
infinite, and true.
