Postcards From Purgatory: i have loved you

i have loved you

i have loved you for only a moment
and i have loved you forever

i have loved you
in your dresses
of silk ribbons
that flew in the wind
around my uneasiness
and bound me to your flesh
until inflamed by desire
i surrendered my heart
and matched you
spark by spark
flame by flame
until like two candles
red and blue
we melted into a single
sealing shade
of iridescent indigo

i have loved you for only a moment
and i have loved you forever

i have loved you
through the music
of a perfect violin
playing through
the solitude
of some lonely winter's tale
and when you were most alone
i was alone with you
like steam dissolving ice
on smoky windowpanes
and forming crystalline constellations
of silvery white
on the blackest of
imperfect mornings

i have loved you for only a moment
and i have loved you forever

i have loved you
in the hallways
of ambiguity
watched your eyes
fly from certain
to uncertain
or heard your words stagger
without warning
and still i
never doubted
that every flickering question
would be answered
and that love would transform
the darkness of mystery
at the end of a day
into the bright knowing light of
a day without end

i have loved you for only a moment
and i have loved you forever
