Richard Langston, Poet

Hello. I hope you have the time to read a few poems. Thank you.

Your Name


I wonder now I know your name
whether it was that far-away sound
always just beyond me, 
why it sounds so right now.

It’s as if I heard it years ago, 
and it kept me travelling.
I hear it now, and say it to myself,
as much in love as wonder.

I can hear your name 
even when I have not said it. 
I want and will it so
the first, the last, the only thing.
