A Rose By Any Other Name

All the names are just the same If you are sweet like a rose I confess, I’m not impressed Oh, how little that bard knows For the name of your loved one Can make you completely melt When it’s breathed in your heart Its vibrations are deeply felt The name of your loved one Is a promise in one word… That his love is eternal His unfaithfulness, unheard The name of your loved one Is with passion intertwined Your lips caress each letter Your heart echoes it in rhyme The name of your loved one Is salvation’s greatest treat Though you pass through gates of hell It’ll take you to heaven sweet The name of your loved one Is simply beyond compare No other name can match it No other would even dare And so it is, beloved When we’re making love sublime Your name bursts out from my lips Making your sweet name… divine Eileen Manassian Ghali
