I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME

I like to say
your name

when you're
not here

turn you
into sound

conjure you out of
thin air

so that you appear
before me

dressed in sound
only

memory sketching in
the rest of you

as if sound
was just an outline

and love
colours you in

adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.

"Hello you..!"
and there you are

as present
as present

can be.

I like to say
your name

when you're
not there.
this is my poetry
my creation, in words
as i am reborn through
the outpouring of thoughts
all coming together
to create
the picture in my head
evening guest
so elegant a dress
dance my mind to
dust
on the shelves
Beauty herself
leaves my mouth wide
open
ballrooms and Dazed plumes
the Threat of dance always in the room
yet still I hope you'll take my
hand

— The End —
