Say my name

Beneath a ray-sighing dusk
I whisper close to your ear
Will you call me by my name?
(Or will you try to evade?)
And I still harbour in my head
How long will you say my name?
Will it last only for a sec
Or will it echo for decades?

When the night has covered your eyes
And starlight glitters in their depth
You murmur the moon of your words
Raise in my mind a sea of tides
And I hear the moon’s silent pitch
She calls me softly by your name
Then my heart shrinks into quietness
When it hears yours beating my name.
