TO MY VALENTINE, WITH ALL MY LOVE
by Nicholas Gordon
To my Valentine,
with all my love,
Of whom I cannot say enough in
praise:
May my love for you sufficient
prove,
Yearning to redeem your caustic
days.
Vortices within may drag you
down.
Anchor, then, in my serenity.
Love saves
some who otherwise might drown,
Embarked alone upon their
Galilee.
Nor should you deem your own love not
enough
To be the chapel to which I retreat
In
search of a pavilion for my pain.
No love is love unless it
be a seat
Enchanted, where a stone might weep
again.
