I Love You Even Though I Know

August 4, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is unrequited love.

Today’s poem is about the pain and ecstasy of unrequited love.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

I love you even though I know
You show no love for me.
Your eyes are icy springs that feed
My hidden ecstasy.

All night I hold you in my arms
And sleep in your embrace.
All day I turn away from life
To gaze upon your face.

Alone I find within my heart
A black and raging sea,
For only you, beloved one,
Can calm my Galilee.
