to a very nice young man whose just a little
misguided
my instincts concerning such matters
well on that subject myself I often have prided
though in your young lover's heart I have not long
resided
try to believe those feelings you have are not
completely one sided
I was greatly discontent until our lonely hearts
collided
I am glad that into my poet's heart your sweet spirit
has alas alighted
giving you too a sense of loving completeness and
warmth knowing you are welcomed and invited
this feels good really good like when a man is long
since blinded then is given the gift of being sighted
in other more direct words what was missing or wrong
in our hearts
with this poem I now hope it, I have righted.....
