Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is love.
Today’s poem is for a first love long gone.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
First love is like playing with
fire:
Aglow with pain and
glory.
Tell me, my dear
first love,
Whether I'm burned
into your heart.
The fire in your
body,
The glory of your
touch:
Ah! my dear first
love,
Never, never leave
my heart!
Although the fire
is distant,
The pain is always
near.
My dear first love,
please listen:
I hold you in my
heart.
