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.
