Your name slips from my lips
Caressingly sweet
Urgently beautiful
Like artificial snow
In the middle of summer
I can’t help but taste it
To twirl it around my tongue
To breathe it in like smoke
Then slowly let it out
Addicted to this rush
This whisper eases out
Filling the silences
With undulating song
An irresponsible kiss
In between consequences
Your name finds me out
Seeks me in dark spaces
Illuminates my craving
As surely as a spotlight
Over the whole of you
This word cool and clear
Indiscriminately sultry
A perfect definition
For this absolute love
Captured, hieroglyph smooth
Your name brings me solace
In a world of uncertainty
It’s a coiled spring
Ready to unfurl, to explode,
To bring me back to you
It’s a shame you don’t
answer to it anymore.
