'Novel' Pain

I wasn’t poor, being not rich 
Life was fine, thanks to hope 
All that changed, owing to muse, 
With one ‘novel’ passion pure
Affairs I had, ten of them 
Unknown to the lovers of books,
Coldshouldered by publishing folk 
Manuscripts those ten make pillows 
In my bed to cause nightmares,
With hope dead, I can’t dream
Now I’m poor, robbed of hope.
