Poetry from Ana Elisa Medina

Middle aged smiling white woman with short blonde hair, holding two glasses of red wine.

The only truth is your name


Your name, pearly like the sea
with moonlit glimmers
and as white as mother-of-pearl
tastes of honey and water
of secrets from yesterday and today.

Your name makes me green again
and stirs my heart
with your deep kisses
and sweet, soft hands
that caress my skin
with the certain hope
of faithful love and passion
to live with humility.
