Glove

I am wearing a glove, see it here on my hand,
The glove I intend to be part of myself.
A riddle is hidden under the glove,
Sweet to remember, leading thought to dark.

Here on my hand sweet sensation does rest
Of slender fingers of prettiest hand.
And just like a song that keeps playing in me
My friend the glove keeps reminding of thee.

Each has a riddle which leads us to dark
I have my glove as a sweet memoir
The glove I intend to keep on till time
Of our next meeting, reunion time.

About this poem:
The author is a remarkable Russian symbolist poet of the beginning of the 20th century Nikolai Gumiliov. In 1921 he was shot by the revolutionary government on the charge of taking part in a counterrevolutionary plot. But in reality he died due to refusal to divulge information about the plot. His wife – an outstanding Russian poet Anna Akhmatova - wrote in despair: My husband's in grave, My son is in cell, I plead you to pray for me, pray.

Thank you for posting this poem...I have been toying with the idea of posting a poem i used for one of my final assignments, and found is was causing quite a stir because it was about death...not human but a bird...

The sweetest words I've ever heard. Thank you, Neah. I am so happy I was of any help. In fact this Russian poet was of help, not me, if I was successful to convey his feelings. Symbols in his poems take us far, far away, and his heart-rending lines leave us absorbed in thought. Carry on, dear lady!
