Throughout Eternity

The phone rang
once
twice
three times

On the fourth ring
I picked it up....

I spoke to her
in polite purple tones
relying only on the calling
..the chilling reality of the moment
upon my bones
telling me
I can no longer go on

Because of its rarity,
VIOLET

best described my voice

broken
choked up
almost cracking
like a wounded animal's bawl
with it's back pushed
against the wall

trying it's best to survive

She was royalty to me
A part of a future
I could only hope to see

But nothing ever stood between
my faith in her
my trust in her
and our mutual sincerity

I wrapped a purple blanket
around my explanation
hoping she could understand

Her reward for all the hurt
and pain in the act of duty

Time well served

My duty was simple--
loving her

I never touched her
I never tasted her
I never smelled her
But, I heard her
I wanted her
and I worshipped her

She was to me
what the purple coats
meant to the kings of Midian
and the way Aaron felt
when he wore it
on his trip from Egypt

Imma be a purple song
imma be singing all night long
a refrain from the barney song...

'I love you
You love me ...'
I will love you well into

E.T.E.R.N.I.T.Y.
