You Finally Have a Name
A smile
dances
Across cheeks
When mentioned
Your name
Tempature rises
Hands shake
and
Stomach flutters
Pale complexion
Becomes a rosy red
Heart misses beat
and
Threatens
To leave chest
Anticipation rises
With
Euphoria not far
Behind
For the longest time
I spent
soundless
Years past
Day by day
Hour by hour
Without even a wisper
Enter you
With such
loudness
Only to be found
In the very
sirens themselves
Screaming
unforgettable hymns
Echoing
through
Ear drums
Long thought dead
Your notes hit at
levels
never experienced
Before
Causing the ends of lips
To curve
And spread far
Accompanied
with the
Child like sense
Of wonder
Drip inner lobes
Till they soak
Stems of the brain
Neurons firing
Uncontrollably
This way and that
Bringing blood back into
A heart
I thought no longer beat
So with
Shoulders
unburdened
Of weight
Chest
relieved
Of force
Time has finally
Blessed me with
The sense of sound
And the one thing
That unlocked it all
Was the key
Found in when
She finally spoke
Her name....
