NICKNAME
I need a nickname of you for me to call you
So that I know that we are close – as close as two lovers in the dark.
A nick name
With which
I am special to have one to identify you.
And for you to recognize me as the only one intimately.
A nick name
In which
I can spell you out in the nick of time.
And you guess who I am, your lover.
A nick name
That
Nobody uses to address you.
And everybody knows that it is ours.
A nick name
Just for both of us
Not for fame or reputation among heads.
It’s just a nick name we both carry.
Should we make your nickname together?
Or do you let me christen you?
Or do you fix a phrase for me?
Or is this nick name hung on a star and be known by universe?
A nick name…
I miss a nick name
With which I worship you
Without any doubt that I am right and they are wrong.
