Be Gentle: What You're Holding Is My Heart

October 8, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

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

Today’s poem is an acrostic name poem that declares love and asks for some gentleness in the reply.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Be gentle: What you're holding is my heart.
Remember in your honesty my pride.
If you don't want to see me, please don't hide
The truth, yet tell it with some art.
Though you may not have asked for me to call,
A single leap of hope must be allowed.
Not easily are shy songs sung out loud.
Yet now I wait your word outside your wall.
