ROMANCE Poem: Your Name, by Donna Harlan

How many times have I said your name
as a preface to my thoughts,
as a thought unto itself,
as a resolution to my discourse.

You are the heart of my novel,
the spirit of my screenplay.
You are foreshadowing, mid-point,
catalyst and theme.

You are my call to adventure,
my road forward and back,
my journey and destination,
my comfort zone and challenge.

How many times have I said your name
as the end of my sentence and the beginning of the next.
