We Choose to Stay Together

July 9, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is love and separation.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A love poem about reasons for staying together even when apart:

We choose to stay together

Even though we're far apart,

Joined by the strong tether

Of the longings of the heart.

We could not face the pain

That giving up would bring,

And so we must sustain our love

Despite our suffering.

You are my sovereign princess,

Whom I will not betray,

Nor be your subject any less

Because you're far away.

Though rivers run as swift as deer

And mountains turn to dust,

I'll wait as year gives way to year

Because I simply must.
