Say My Name

Say My Name I lie here and consider the night sky The stars flickering as clouds go drifting by Time skips Across the fingertips Of God As I drown In a vast desert Of want Can you hear how my heart beats In the rhythm of love? Can you see like me The stars burning above? That's just how I feel Like a candle Crying waxy tears I'll simply melt away If I never hear you say My name Why don't you know me? I am so lost and lonely As I wait How long until I finally see your face? A wonder to behold Whether young or old Your beauty is Within your soul Just once won't you Hold me in your embrace? Everything is turning gray But desire never fades I catch the scent of the wild flowers In the warm breeze that push the clouds Across the dark sky So I'll Stay here Crying waxy tears As I nurse the flame Hoping to finally hear You say My name.

Dear Crystol, I really love your exploration of longing and desire, which is beautifully expressed through wonderful emotive language. The way you capture the essence of yearning for connection, for recognition, is truly captivating. Each line is filled with raw emotion, drawing me into this world of vulnerability and hope. I also loved the imagery of stars, clouds, and wildflowers for it adds depth and richness to the poem, showcasing the inner turmoil and longing. I feel your words linger, echoing the universal human experience of seeking validation and love. Crystol this a wonderful piece of poetry. - Blessings, my friend, Daniel
