i have loved you
in another moment
in another lifetime

i awoke in the windows of your eyes
which lit my entire universe
as my heart awoke from its long slumber
spellbound by your mesmeric essence
in the boundlessness of space and infinity

i have loved you
through our roaring raging fires
the burning heat of our desires
as the flames slowly diminished to smouldering embers
by our blindness in the thick fog of its smoke
at last to cold gray ashes at the end of the long night

i have loved you through the agony ...
of our conflicting expectations
of our very sad misunderstandings
of our polar oppositeness
through the deadness in your eyes
the seeping black of midnight
in a starless, moonless sky
and the deepest darkest part
of our existance

i have loved you
in the first rays of morning sunlight
your glory shining in your face
your beauty echoing in your laughter
your passion throbbing on your lips

i am both weak and nothing,
and strong and invincible
within the boundaries
of your embrace

i have loved as you took me
by the hand and led me
down the paths of utter ecstacy
and total destruction
to the secret garden door
of a magical place
that exists only deep inside of me
and have shown me my reflection
in your clear and placid face

i have loved you through the twilight
of your silence
the ceasing of your motivation
the world of lives between us
until.....
we have stopped breathing
together

i have always loved you
and i love you still....
