Gregory Richard Barden Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

 

You, Eve and I

R-ecline your wearied self within my care

O-n a coverlet of eventide and moon

M-elted stars, in platinum tresses, rare

A-light your eyes and aspect, as I swoon

N-ight is but another of your lovers

T-aken as I am, with all your charms

I-n, you slip, between its silky covers

C-loistered in its ardor ... and my arms.
