Before I knew you
your name
was just
another name.
.
Now
when I see it
or hear it
or read it
or write it
I cannot help
but catch
my breath.

Would you say some names are inherently beautiful, too? In Hindi, there’s this name Meera. I’ve heard and seen its reproduction in several Romance/Slavic languages–Mira, Mera, Miera. Must be something about the sound these syllables make…

I think it is true there are names that are beautiful in themselves – though even that s probably subjective. There are also names that become beautiful to us simply because of the person who bears the name. Smiles.

Very true. Is there a name that’s beautiful to you? Perchance the name of the muse who inspired this verse? Oh do tell!

There are a number of names over the years that have become beautiful. Smiles. Kanika is rather a lovely name.
