Stanley's Everything I've Ever Wanted

February 27, 2021

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Portraits of Men.

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

A name poem for an ideal lover:

Stanley's everything I've ever wanted:
Tough and sexy, tender, sweet, and strong;
Aggressive, playful, funny, proud, undaunted;
Needy, caring, ready to be wrong.
Love loves not a calm consistency.
Each heart longs to be helpless, hopeless, haunted,
Yearning for the wind to stir its sea.
