Acts of Love


(Self-portrait with Elizabeth, his wife, in a Paris café,
1931, by André Kertész, 1894-1985, Hungarian-born
photographer)

Love is an act of will, a choice.

ACTS OF LOVE

If endeared is earned
and is meant to identify
two halves

then it composes
one meaning

which means
a token

a knot
a note

a noting in the head
of how it feels

to have your heart
be the dear one

~ Pam Rehm, born 1967, American poet
