There Are No Bars to Our Embrace
There are no bars to our embrace,
No presence more than in heart.
We live our lives with love and grace,
Together still, though still apart.
No presence more than in the heart,
No touch more salient than a dream.
Together still, though still apart,
We are more lucky than we seem.
No touch more salient than a dream,
Though dreams alone must sometimes be.
We are more lucky than we seem,
If I trust you, and you trust me.
Though dreams alone must sometimes be,
We live our lives with love and grace.
If I trust you, and you trust me,
There are no bars to our embrace.
~Nicholas Gordon
I love this poem. The form is right on and the rhyme isn't over powering. I think it supplies a good message as well. I hope that my pantoum turns out half this good. I hope you guys like it as well. Feel free to share your comments on this piece with me. :)

I like this poem. I have never heard of Nicholas Gordon before you posted this poem. I especially like the last stanza. The topic is easy to relate to and people can grasp the concept with the strong details. Great Choice.
