Love lies there still

crowsThis.
It is because every breath I draw has your name etched within it. It is because my need for you runs deeper than we know. It is because there is a confession lurking deep within the tunnels of my bones, and your eyes are the seeking key to all that lies within the greying marrow.
No distrust of you dwells within me.
It is because I love you deeply and the truth of our hearts rings ever in my mind. Because I love you desperately and within me there is an animal, a desperate need to know beyond doubt that you are warm and safe when the night falls. Because I love you and I want for your whole existence to be filled with such brilliant life that astounds your every waking moment, as the radiance of your spirit has illuminated my soul since you entered it. Because I wish for you to enjoy every freedom that should please you.
I want nothing more than to love you, and for my existence to augment that flame and fervor for living.
I know I have to make music fill the air of night within my chamber, to drown out the silence that beds with me in your absence. I know my dreams pursue you, without my command, when you go from me… even for a little while.
We shall dance through halls of hollow hills. The song of shared seasons will echo in our blood into eternity. I never want my heart to abandon any thought of you. I desire every taste that passes between our lips and skin. I desire every word and breath that travels to and fro about your lips. We will know life outside of this still faint land. We will know life beyond the walls, beyond this tyranny of winter.
My heart is like a child now, in the discovery of your keeping. She, within me, still has not learned that you will, barring cataclysm, return to us with open arms and willing kisses. My mind knows. I know. I trust every part of you. I love you even more.
Sleep, dream, touch in the land of silver gates with blithe unconcern for the hardened tines of the realm beyond. I meet you adrift. May the eyes of the dragon be with us both.
I still heed his words. He told me once to dream of seraphim with flaming swords and... deep brown eyes.
