When We Began to Love

When we began to love each other 

I thought we’d love till death came round. 
New lovers don’t see troubles gather, 
immersed in two becoming one, 
convinced they’ll be forever one mind, 
one will, one soul, under the sun. 
Romance breeds a cataract 
that blinds the heart to common sense. 
Yet love survives the setting moon 
to thrive in the day. I’d resurrect 
the giddy ecstasy of romance 
with you, but you’ve found someone else 
who fires your soul with a single glance 
and mates his heartbeat with your pulse.

Lovers VI -- Nancy Spero
