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 a name poem for a woman who does not return
the poet’s love.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Adrianna rules my sovereign heart,
Delighting in my daily desperation.
Rack and ruin are the inspiration
In which she finds a purpose for her art.
Alas! I cannot give her up, for she
Need only smile to make my poor heart dance,
Need only touch my arm to make me prance
About inside, a fool no truth can free.
