Blue Hour

I met you in the Blue Hour.

Not quite my dawn, Not yet your night.
That liminal place of Sapphire light.

When I was drunk on you, were you drunk on me, only?
Were we ever under the same stars?

Why did I not float around in your blood,
Like you did in mine?

Did I not have your heart, for just a time?

You walked in a universe right next to mine.
A place with everything the same-
Except for That…

I wish you longed for me the way you long for That.
That love that preceded,
and will follow, me.

I cannot take you away into the ecstasy That does.
I cannot silence despair.
I cannot walk in the dimension That occupies.

I can only wrap you up in ink.
I can only hold you in letters.
I can only love pieces of memory.

That pulls at the strings of your soul; each day unravelling it a little more….
But, what a blissful way to come undone.

Goodbye my dream.

I love you always.
