elmina

name

Your name

Is both positive and negative

With its ying and yang effect

The bittersweet syllables dripping from one\'s tongue

A name that will be carved deep within the crevasses of the indention\'s that stretched across your brain

A name that will blissfully greet your awakening

To an orange sun playing peek boo with a horizon

Or peck you goodnight with it\'s lullaby of wistful dreams that saunter within your streaming thoughts

That wraps you in a dreary blanket of warmth to battle against the cold nights that tap on your wintery window pane

A name beautifully smeared onto a canvas or one that brings an aching pang of hurt in your heart\'s veins

Where either lilacs grow to coat meadows with it\'s vibrancy or sprout a shadow to lurk behind you on the sunniest afternoons by it\'s pulsing heartbeat of the accents within a name of that someone.

A name that has dug it\'s beautifully tragic grave within your thoughts

Entangled in anger and sadness of those sweet, comforting memories that lie collecting dust

Spilling from your waterfall of hurt and flowing across the marbles floor

Where you had left this name to bid you bye on a cold night

Where all that is left every morning when you rise

Is the emptiness engulfing you

And a name that fulfills you with remorse.
