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 https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
An anniversary poem about how each might know how the other’s love feels:
How can
I say what is too much for words?
A rainbow cannot fit into my heart.
Perhaps we should be musical as birds
Perched singing of our love with
practiced art.
You cannot taste my happiness, or
feel
A little of the chill of your caress.
No word or metaphor can make it real,
Nor song contain the truth I would
express.
In my love there are mountains miles
high,
Valleys rainbow carpeted, and wide
Enough for clear, still lakes to steal
the sky ...
R-R-R-R!!! I cannot tell you what's
inside!
So you must turn to what you feel for
me,
And read therein my tender rhapsody.
Reach deep, my love, and I will be there,
too:
You have me in your heart, as I have
you.
