Name me

by Melissa   Oct 23, 2006


There's a peculiar heart
beating faintly
inside of me,
quietly humming
a familiar truth
that cannot be heard
by ears,
but I fear the melody
is not my own
and all this soul wants
is for the vessel
to be named

by anyone

Beneath this skin
of God's artistry,
there is an answer
haunting my thoughts
through a distant voice
that hates being alone,
despite the inklings
that accompanies her fingers

in solitude

yet I still don't know
where this heart came from
or why,
only that it's melody
is identical
to my own broken beat
and that it, too
longs to be named

by anyone (whole)

    Melissa, if I only had the words to say how indescribably wonderful I think this poem is. Written from heart, perfected by soul...

    The name that your heart beats to meet is
    the lover you seek to make you complete.

    This was my first thought reading your poem,
    then while reading it again I got to thinking this
    also could be the faint heartbeat of a baby that
    woman physically and emotionally long for.
    Either way I see it you have penned a beautiful
    poem. Excellent job well done and Write On,
    Bogie
