But can you stay in love?
sydney t. harris
love is worth nothing
until passes through
the fever of infatuation
until it settles down
to a steady
day-by-day routine
until the golden girl
begins to fade
around the edges
and a lithe, lean boy
begins to fatten
in the middle
anybody can be young
and in love
it is hard
not to be
but only those
graced by the Gods
can persist in loving
when the chill of autumn
begins to set in
for love is an act of will
not a sentiment
it may start
in the blood
but it can
only be sustained
by the mind
and the spirit
where are the singers
of this song
the tellers of this tale?
