Your Name
By Paula Lietz
kerosene lantern hisses your name
shadowy figure tries to smother the flame
I need no reminder of the essence of you
your scent lingers and mingles with dusks wet dew
wrapped in memory and closed like a cocoon
I refuse to open, safe my thoughts armoured within
cannot believe love can be laid and discarded so thin
why poets of lore penned this distress
but adds to the din
emotions are dolorously tossed to darkest depths
then swept and borne on crosswinds high
again and yet again we do bear this obscene pain
bewildered I sit with my head bowed low
buckled in unresponsive darkness I listen
to the kerosene lantern hiss your name
