Say my name- ever so softly
Utter each syllable from your mouth-
And watch it crystallise into music,
Each with a speck of life of its own.
They escape your mouth- and frolic
Come together in the right order
And form an elusive symphony.
Yet, say my name again- harsh this time
And I become ready to bludgeon you
While the music turns into blind cacophony
And I frantically search for the hidden notes
Recall those words, and the tacit noise
For the hearts of a thousand tremble.
It's not my name- that causes the effect.
'tis but the way you speak, my fellow.
