No matter how much the sky is dark, heavy clouds on the horizon, if I just think of you... my fear is gone!...
I do love you, my darling!
(Oriza Martins)
Before
I ask y'all, please understand,
Before I ask y'all,
please understand,
Even as I come from way down South,
My heart is more loquacious than my mouth,
Yearning like a wave for your smooth sand.
Very few down here will show their hand,
Aching like a riverbed for rain,
Lying like a platitude in pain,
Each chili inside, outside baked beans bland.
Now here down South it ain't right to demand
The things you're dying for, but you real fine,
In a voice polite as preachers set to dine,
Nicely say, "Mind if I trouble you, Ma'am," -
Easy like - "to be my Valentine?"
Nicholas Gordon
Before I knew you, I had always loved you,
Before I knew you, I
had always loved you,
Even as I dreamed of whom I'd love.
My inner picture was a portrait of you
Years before your heart my heart would move.
Vistas of enchantment are but rarely
As we find them in reality.
Love with you is what I dreamed, but really,
Eden as no dream could ever be.
Nor is this the magic of the moment,
The proper costume for the holiday.
In words like these one finds the winnowed
ferment,
Not of the desire, but of the way,
Else lost amid the longings of the day.
Nicholas Gordon
Before
love, that jolting lilt
Before love, that jolting lilt
East of roses, in perturbed darkness,
Missing the eternal circumstance,
Yearning still, again, for that exploratory tilt
�
Vainly would I fly into your heart
Afire, burning, consumed, expended.
Love is not an ending; nor does it end
Easily: becomes pith, becomes seed, starts
Needing, kneading, mid-desperation,
The long climb out of loneliness, turning
In hope, in anguish, in foolish expectation.
No two are joined except in painful learning:
Each frightened lesion closed for restoration.
Nicholas Gordon
To say "I love you with a love without end... I love you, a pure love ... I love you with a passionate love... I love
you explicitly, a love of infinite possibilities..." - it all seems redundant ... but the
truth is that there is insufficient redundancy to express my feelings for you! ( Oriza Martins)

Valentines Love Poems
Valentine's
for mothers, too --
Valentine's for
mothers, too --
A time to
celebrate
Love in all its symphony,
Each gift of fertile fate.
No pasture is more rich in grass;
The sea is not so full;
In heaven all the stars are not
Near so plentiful,
Each mother's heart to fill.
Nicholas Gordon
Valentines
are people who
Are willing to be flowers,
Letting us enjoy their beauty
Even if for hours.
No Valentine hides from the
sun,
Though sometimes lost in
light.
If you love them, they just
open,
Not unhappy to be woken
Even in the night.
Nicholas Gordon
This
Valentine's I wish that you were with me.
It's lonelier than most days I'm alone,
Even though we'll manage on the phone
To touch with words the face we cannot see.
You away are far more dear to me
Than anyone who might remain at home.
My love is in the places that you roam,
Being with you where I cannot be.
We do not choose the objects of our passion,
But passively await the holy fire
That immolates our past and lights our fate,
Twisting through the alleys of desire.
So I am yours, and will contented wait,
Allowing love my life and will to fashion.
Nicholas Gordon
