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.

- Comment from author about the poem: sometimes a name can be the reason you feel so joyous or so melancholic when you awake or fall into a sleep.

Welcome LILSUNFLOWER (Beautiful Name !) : Thanks for your First Poem : Elegantly penned and a great Subject : NAMES ! BRIAN & I are engaged to be married (Easter 2020) & His Name always thrills my Heart & My Name his. Some Members call us A & B which also sounds LOVELY. Brians MUM chose BRIAN because it means NOBLE and My MUM ANGELA because (In Spanish) it means ANGEL.
Ones NAME is very precious because that is how People know us as individuals and always ask our name when introduced for the first time. BRIAN & I love our Names and their significance. BRIAN is very NOBLE and I try to lift up to my lovely NAME : Angela de la Luz : ANGEL of LIGHT !
BRIANS name gives me sweet sleep and joy when I awake : especially as currently we are 11,500 miles apart (UK to New Zealand) Im on a Work Exchange in NZ (Physiotherapist). As your Poem suggests there are NAMES whose memory brings horror to our hearts !
Thanks for sharing : please check our Poems :
