Sweet Name

Your name,
you,
substantial and sacred,
You fill my lips with sweetness
that I savor and do not let go
easily.
I am stung by the sweet goodbye I say
every time your name leaves my mouth,
Only to be replaced with joy as I
Discover that you have given it back
To whisper in your ear
Again, again, again...
