What Does My Name Mean To You? Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

What does my name mean to you?
Does it rustle like an autumn leaf?
Does it sound for you like a belief
Or just a word said in brief?

What does my name mean to you?
Is it pure like the first winter snow?
Is it a heart breaking arrow
Or a severe cold winds blow?

What does my name mean to you?
Does it splatter like a stream in spring?
Does it matter for you and you’d like to sing
Or it just sounds like a broken string?

What does my name mean to you?
Is it a flight of a seagull over the ocean?
Does it show you my sincere devotion
Or it’s just a word for communication?

I saw you shrugging and understood,
You just need hugging to be in mood.
