kevin harling's love letter
The following letter was submitted to Love Letter Lane by Kevin (Pt 6 of "The Muse Conversations."):
Like two holy temples, sacred, tenements to the faith we have both sacrificed so much for, two red blood hearts swaying in unison, a single wave upon an ocean sky of powder perfect blue,
together, hands held with delicate grace, sheltered, loving and finding ways to caress anew.
This dreamland of blushing clouds, a sky that whispers sweet french kisses, the air full of tongues and fingers probing eternity, seeking pleasure through linen lines of silk, this haven from all that disrupts, this home of utter tranquility, this is where you have brought me my dear.
High above the rocky turbulent world, soaring with falcons, carefree and laughing, this language of a love that is above earthly love, angel love, flying on wings made by Cupid himself, floating
here among the turrets of emerald towers.
I am walking on puffy white clouds, barefooted and sensing only you, I eat your chalice of golden worship, adorned by thoughts of truth and sincerity, nothing can sway me, no winds can take you away, you are boundless, free and walking within me.
Days meld into minutes, into hours the seconds I photograph with subtle words, into sentences professing my enamoured heart, you are a black pearl, an elegant albatross, you rise before every dawn and set with all my hopes, you are my pillow down, my softest hello.
Like two holy temples, eroding time with outstretched columns reaching for one another, lifting
each other up with mouths that can never be satiated, with fingers that when locked cannot be torn asunder, you drift towards me never away, edging deeper and deeper into my flesh.
This is the world you have created, your genesis, your beginning that has no end, for these words will live forever, this ethereal wonderland of longing to be closer than close, and no matter how far it is always near, for I carry you like my breath always within, my lungs announce you, my lips speak only of you, forever.
