His Name

His name just rolls of my tongue Reminds me of when we were young Of the songs we left unsung Of Love’s picture left unhung His name makes my heart dance Reminds me of our sweet romance How I lost him by circumstance How I long for one more chance His name leads me to dream Of meeting him by a stream Of seeing his eyes gleam Of releasing passion’s scream His name makes my heart desire To add substance to that fire To make love and never tire To be free again to conspire His name brings exquisite delight Whispered softy in the night Floods my soul with its light Turns all that’s bad aright His name every night haunts Laying bare all my heart wants My resolve to be strong it taunts The potential for passion it flaunts His name, his name, his name Has made of my life a game Has shown I can’t be the same When my heart makes love to that name Eileen Manassian Ghali
