True name

I have searched for one 
who can make 
foreign syllables 

sound like his native 
tongue, as if 
he was born with my

name in his mouth, and
waited to 
whisper it back home

Smittener

Inspired by Sandol Stoddard Warburg's "I Like You," the most amazing love poem I've heard, which was read at a wedding I attended yesterday.

SMITTENER
I know it's not a word
but I don't care because
you speak my language.
