Lovers summoning poem

A poem to summon?really?Alright,here
mouth the name
but
a minute or two before you speak
sit a bit and compel to it
your memories
of sunny laughs and angry tears.
and drunken nights on star-lit beaches,
picnics on fields
when you lay and watched
your lovers features
of the sadness in absence
and the fullness in presence
in the voice you find melody greatest
imbibe the name with your dates to musuems
and your trips to the sea
heart-punctuated texts
and breathy voice-notes next
memories
as you watch the sunlight in your lovers eyes
or the swing of their gait
or the way their face sours at a lemons taste
their beam as you lean in for a kiss
and their irritation as you pretend to miss
as you held their hands and run together
from class
to party
from bars
to altar
ready,speak
now watch your lovers name
skim lakes and leave ripples
race through fields
and fly through skies
watch it capture sunlight and swing in the wind
and make its nest on your lovers heart
and pluck strings to sing your thoughts
and whisper
"hey,my love,summon back"
