I really wish I could tell you her name but it’s illegal to say, at least it is for me, forbidden, taboo, and just plain wrong. A name lost to the ages, lost to the pages, and lost to me forever, her name has become unspeakable.
I looked for beauty, here’s what it said
Her name is …, that’s what I read
No other words could ever be seen
Most beautiful girl and everything
So I pondered awhile for synonyms
Every word you’re there again
So then dear … my angel above
Another word I searched for love
Looked for love, again there you are
Her name is …, and now so far
That every time a word comes to mind
I find you waiting all of the time
No wonder the words I write won’t do
Because all of them draw back to you
So beautiful as the stars beam
One more word I ponder a dream
Search for dream within the night
Her name is …, under starlight
I want to give up, what else can I do
All my words but all are of you
My love for you with all of my heart
I search for your name and can’t make a start
Beauty, love, all it seems
Her name is …, in only my dreams
