Love Flight

Last night, I flew up there
and felt the pangs of your desire
like the unravelling spiral cord
that touched my heart in possession
of aches and love and gentle laughter.
I flew around the cloud
where I know you hid those years
as the same pain
tried to catch up to me.
I flew higher up into that sky
with noose-like, clawing ice
broken apart in victory.
I loved you all over again,
knowing the game isn't finished,
knowing we aren't even, yet,
but loving unconditionally
while sweet raincloud shadows
ran over my back.

I loved you again -
like I always do -
tears guided my flight,
your hopeless, menacing pain
drew me off into the sunrise
and I wanted you to know
that I will still come to you
anytime you ask,
though the pain should banish me,
force me to look elsewhere...

Vapor love-crystals everywhere,
rainbows in cloud haloes,
pink sun turned yellow,
and down I sank back into me,
still whispering,
"I'm in love with you,
after all these tears."
