These names
Love labels
given
with intent
only
of claiming
Colouring
each moment
Mirrorballs
and satin
Some REM
song plays
a back-thought
serenade
I called you
sweetheart
True one
Darling
little snuggie
I called you
puppy
lover
my own very
star kitten
I called you
fluffy
bunny
My sunshine
My perfection
All the time
I labelled you
just claiming
you for me
But when
my owning
turned to love
I loved
the love
you gave me
Making me
my very own
secret
special
name
[From Dianne’s prompt: “Kitten”]
