Look, at last you found me.
Funny
how that works....

There are many kinds of love letters.
Some are magnificent gifts from
lovers and beloveds, inked in gold on cream vellum and crafted with a courtly
hand, sealed in red wax and delivered with a perfect rose sparkling with a
single drop of rain. Always, these are delivered in sunlight and kissed by
perfumed breezes.
Some are written to yourself, to
get yourself through the hard times, recognition of your own inner strength and
beauty. They can be scripted in angst to ideas of beauty, honor and
glory. Journals to one self, sometimes no more than a diner
napkin jotted with a life affirming idea kept in personal possession and re-read
on dark days.
Love letters are written to
particular people as well; friends, lovers, partners, parents…pets even. These
live on lined paper notebooks, cards and random scraps, cherished and held onto
for the memories of empowerment they brought.
Some love letters are written in
blood though, crafted in ashes and screams, delivered in darkness and buried
forever in the meat of your heart.
No matter what though, you always
know if a love letter is written to you.
If you want this love letter, as
you read it you feel warm, gifted, snuggled and happy. Your skin glows, your
eyes are moist and bright. The future rolls out before you, dust motes
golden in the sun, call of the meadowlark honey sweet in your ears.
Maybe your heart flutters some, and the air seems rare and clean. You feel good,
physically and mentally. Safe, cared for.
Oh, but when you read a love letter
you don’t want. Your thighs cramp with brief pain echoed by the bounding of your
heart. Sweat films your upper lip, burns in your skin and chills beneath your
armpit. You feel like someone has been watching you a very long time, and they
have seen secrets no one should see.
Yes, sometimes you don’t want the
love letter you receive.
This is a love letter. I’ve been
writing it a long, long time, and it’s not done yet. I’ve written it in the most
personal ink that exists….my own blood.
This
is the love letter you don’t want…..just for you…
Until Dawn
