Juliet asked the question, and now i ask it.
maybe for different passions
but Passion nonetheless
My name comes from an old grandmother
Generations ago
I never met her
Maybe we passed along the pathways of heaven
When I was leaving
with my suitcase of attributes and personality
And she was coming Home.
with her wisdom and love
Maybe she sent me off
with a word and a kiss Good bye.
I've heard she was a happy soul
and i hear that i am a Old soul
Maybe it correlates
Allegra means Happy or Laughing
in a few languages.
I hope I give it justice
I hope I laugh in Happiness
Like i am sure that she did.
She was beautiful
her photograph depicts her era
i've only gazed upon a few
her painted lips
thick curls
twill that covers to her navel
pearls lace her neck
a glint in her eyes
a Black and white picture can feel so much
I want to trade her places
I dont look like her
for my looks come from my mother
but i feel her.
i feel the name I hold.
or Uphold
There are so many Sentiments in a name.
Or maybe i am sentimental.
Sentimental Allegra
Maybe she was too.
What is in a name.
I am
