Please, Tell Me Your Name Poem by Meggie Gultiano

....A real life story..many many years ago...

Softly sighed the evening breeze
to stir the curtains
Its shadows circled and swayed
Mixed with the star-burst
creating the illusion
of a grand ballroom

I was in your arms on that moonlight night
Softly caressing, holding, melting
It was hard to breathe looking into your eyes.
just loving you without doubt was my heaven-sent comfort.

Time was our enemy
Losing my grip in your embrace
I had to say goodbye in haste to run away
from your forbidden sight..
Yet you held me tightly
and your curious mouth whispered..
“please, tell me your name...”

Sadly, it was our last meeting
And after that not even the shadow of his sweet smile
touched my presence ever again…

Thoughts and dreams are now the only consolations
to answer my name...
