Description
my name isalyssa, and maybe it means
hold your breath or
chase the stars. maybe it is
that awkward shyness
of saying hello to someone
for the first time
or the warm feeling
from hugs and held hands.
maybe it means
maybe my wishes will come true,
someday or maybe
it is the sound of the wind
caressing leaves and the lullabies
of wind chimes, or maybe
it is the voice inside your head;
the shade of moonlight and
comets.
maybe 'alyssa' is a synonym
for hopeful and dreaming and
'full of life'. maybe it is the rush
in your ears while running,
the challenge of catching your breath again;
the music of wishing and the thrill
of living.
or maybe my name is just
alyssa
and maybe it only means
nothing.

The imagery in this one is so great! Especially on stanza two
I think everyone can agree that you've got an amazing name, not so much because of the name itself, but the name you've made it. (I'm almost tempted to say "if that makes sense" 
Haha, this made me want to see what my name literally means. Turns out it means marsh or fen, ROFL. I'll be keeping that to myself ._.

i think alyssa means someone who has fallen and thinks they cannot get back up.
someone who is broken and thinks they cannot be fixed.
i think the name alyssa tells a sad tale that maybe not everyone can understand.
i think deep down, alyssa is beautiful and just waiting to grow back into something amazing.
alyssa is just sleeping for now,
alyssa is hibernating until someone will whisper in her ear "wake up"
now let me tell you about the name emilia.
its nothing special,
all it is is a bunch of random dead letters mushed together.
it leaves no one breathless,
the only thing it leaves is confusion on pronunciation.
its a name that no one calls me by,
its a name that is dead to almost anyone besides myself.
emilia is not beatiful, not ugly, not broken nor fixed.
emilia is simply dead.
i wish she wasnt.

I think Emilia is wonderful,
such an amazing name.
It IS a bunch of letters mushed together,
but it is so pretty.
It leaves ME breathless.

alyssa wonders if maybe
she's going to have to tell herself
to wake up
because it always feels like
no one else will.
emilia leaves me breathless.
she's not dead.
at all.
she's waiting for someone to realize
how beautiful she is.
because she's very beautiful.
gorgeous.
and something very special.

listen.
do you hear that?
the winds are whispering your name,
the winds are carrying all the prayers,
all the hopes we have for alyssa.
but i think,
we all refuse to listen.
and thank you

Beautiful poem, though I must point out that according to most name databases Alyssa means 'of noble blood'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you.
i've never been one to follow the general opinion, though. haha. =]
and i'm certainly not of noble blood.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, not following the general opinion is cool :thumb:
I am though, way back. 0.o Which scared me when I saw it.

i think alyssa means
an ocean of words which
are as beautiful as the
sun waking up in the morning.
maybe it means
a wish on a star coming
to life. or one thousand autumn
leaves falling and you catch
them all (because someone told me that
brings you good luck) or maybe
it means 12:52 or it means
3 in the morning and you're
finally sleeping soundly.
maybe alyssa means
catching your breath as you
reach the surface and realising
you don't want to lose it
again.
maybe it means
something beautiful.
maybe it means
something, and words just
aren't enough.

i think maybe you are
the color of the sky
after it rains. maybe
you are the oxygen in someone's lungs,
giving life and
maybe you are
the smile i get, sometimes,
and i'm afraid of sharing that moment
of happiness with the world
in the fear that i'll get
broken.
maybe you are
something beautiful,
or quite possibly
you are more than that,
and words can't even begin
to describe you.

I just wanted to say I love all your poems. Your poems inspire me to write a few of them myself, but I know they'll never be as good as yours.
-with love. <♥
