Love Poem: The Name

The Name

Not all flowers I call by one name
Not lady, miss or even Madam
All beautiful, all just the same,
But one flower I call by one name.

She answers with a single word
Not sir, mister or even milord.
Every time I hear a sweet Chord
when she answers with this word.
 
May everyone find one flower,
Not in a garden, road or tower,
With this same uncanny power:
To be a love-named flower.
