Hello. I'm... You haven't told me yet. Does the name really matter when I'm more than one word, an ordered arrangement of letters crammed together on my tongue to form a sound? The best language happens at the end of the tether that is your voice. It binds deeper than ropes or chain or silky ties that have hugged your neck all day, and it leaves better imprints anyway. I could surrender my exhausting identity to you for hours letting all the melting facades drip and collect in silent puddles. Ignoring this is an abuse of your power.

Wow. The loneliness, the sadness, the love (unrequited to an extent) that comes through this is just awesome. And the shyness that withholds one's eagerness. My, My . . . one of your very best, my friend. j. |

You. . . are an entire book. One that needs to be read. . . over and over again. . . It's good to read your words again. . . -- That which gives light must endure burning. |

Love the first 3 lines. If anyone was going into this half-hearted that snapped them to attention real quick I bet. One can’t help contemplate the possible names that might serve. Need comes to mind but that would only be the tip of the iceberg. This goes much much deeper. The subtle, yet almost demanding, last sentence reveals the truth of the situation. The power is yielded, only because it is yours to yield. |

Sven, Someone would have to get more than halfway through first. Thank you. It is good to be read by you again. Michael, Thank you. I always hope there is enough in the beginning to make someone curious about the end. I've had and been called lots of names. Which ones would do usually changes from mood to mood. Mine or theirs. Doesn't matter.  I do like to "gently remind" someone when they are wasting something.
