Your name

will 

scorch

my lips

forever,

dear

one.

For

you

are both

blinding

light

and 

despairing

darkness.

Your name

ignites

the flame

inside my

heart,

at once consuming

me fully

while smouldering 

in the shadows.

Your name

is intertwined

with

my

destiny,

which

will play

out

long after

these basic

recordings

cease

to exist.

Your name,

Shalom,

I thank

you.
