A Name I Never Spoke

Name I Never Spoke by Al Konda
There are loves too sacred to name.
In this tender and haunting collection of 22 poems, Al Konda opens the quietest chamber of the heart – the place where love is felt deeply but never spoken aloud.
This is not poetry that begs to be seen. It is poetry that chose to remain.
A Name I Never Spoke is a journey through unspoken devotion, gentle restraint, and the ache of loving someone from just beside their joy.
Through themes of silence, brotherhood, ghosthood, and breath, these poems whisper truths most hearts know but rarely admit.
For anyone who has ever:

Loved without being loved back
Stood close, but not close enough
Let someone go without ever holding them
This book is yours.
Some names are never said out loud. Some loves are never lived – only written.
