Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is romantic love.
Today’s poem is a love poem about the difficulty of
declaring one’s love.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
How can I tell you what I feel for you?
When I think of you my feelings twist inside
As if someone's fist reached in and grabbed a few,
And turned and turned them tight and tangled. I've tried
Somehow to say: You're the sun in my sky,
The wind that takes me where I want to go,
The sweet incense that makes me feel so high
That loving you seems all I need to know.
But it all sticks in my throat! It sounds too cute,
Empty as a wrinkled paper bag.
You won't believe it! Better I stay mute
Than offer you clichés that make you gag.
And yet I wish to tell you of my love,
If only love its own locks would remove!
