The Unfinished Chapter - 82

Chapter 82

The slight, solitary figure stood at the edge of the ocean

Waves came and went, kissing her delicate ankles ever so often

She strolled along for a little while

And then, she drew circles in the sand

Small insignificant ones that were wiped out with each wave

She watched, she wondered

Were these waves ending when they kissed the shore?

Or, was it the beginning of a new life as they returned?

The occasional seagull looked at her

Her eyes sparkled

They disguised the pain her heart now experienced

Love has wings

Her life will forever be love, even now

Every time she thinks of the abuse of love, her shattered heart, battered soul experience a loss so deep, a pain so brutal... she closes her eyes, her pain numbs her

And, if this pain and missing is what love has blessed her with, she accepts, gladly

She releases her love to the universe

She watched it fly, fly away

Her life

And yet, her heart was beating with one emotion... love

She walks, she walks... 

The Unfinished Chapter - 83

Chapter 83

Her voice was a mere whisper

She was but an apparition now

She put her hand to her chest

Her heart was still beating

The ambiguity of an abyss so deep, a path so distorted, was sometimes too much for her

She felt him in her heart, her soul, her breath, her very being

And yet, the night sky shattered with heartbreak tonight

The stars seemed a little dull

The quiet moon covered her face with clouds

Quite like a veil would cover tears from the crying eyes of a bleeding heart

And yet, when she lay on her pillow, she'd close her eyes when her soulmate closes his

And yet, when she breathes, her breath is his, just as his is hers... whoever he is, wherever he is...

Chapter 84

Quiet, caressing summer breeze beguiles the harshness of the afternoon sun

The world around her is a mix of various shades of green

Dancing leaves glistening in sunshine, sway this way, then the other way

The universe is telling her a story

She is listening

Times are a changing, she can feel it

She's lost, enraptured by the dance of nature

Her breath seems to match the breeze

And...

With every breath she breathes him

He was her yesterday, he is her today, he will be her tomorrow

He will eternally be her ever after

She'd gladly accept all his tears

If only, to see his heart smile, his soul fly

And then, she will meet him in a place with no beginning, no end

She will meet him there, where her love found life

Her love that blessed her with a gift so pure, so rare

She can feel his breath, hear him sigh

Her beating heart is him

Her breath is him

And when she bids this world goodbye

She will breathe through him

He is her

She is him...

Chapter 85

He wasn't here, and yet, he was
She could feel his presence, intangible, mysterious

He almost teased her, quite like a game of hide-n-seek

Her arms ached, ached to hold him again

She noticed autumn leaves dancing in the quiet breeze

She was dancing to the dance of life herself

She was flying now, without wings

Walking without feet

Her love gave her the strength to do that, and so much more

She closed her eyes, opened her heart and sent him a never-ending wave of love

She'd never loathe her tears

In each drop was a love so pure, a passion so great

That it transcended lifetimes, time, space, everything...

She could almost hear his heart beat, listen to his breath, look into his eyes

Eyes that told her a story so deep that his lips needn't say the words

His silence said it all

She was listening

She hugged him tight, held him

He wasn't in her arms right now, and yet, he was, he is

He is...

Chapter 86

From a day ago, to a day from now

From a week ago, to a week from now

From a month ago, to a month from now

From a year ago, to a year from now

From a lifetime ago, to a lifetime from now

The transient seductions of fallacy distract

She wipes away her tears, just as more follow

In this dance from then to now, now to then 

It's his presence she feels, his face she sees

And then she wonders, would he leave her again?

Just like he did from then to now?

Oh darling, how much she missed him

She closed her eyes, felt that familiar abyss overtake her very being

Falling, falling, jagged rocks slashing her along the way

She felt nothing

Pain metamorphosed itself into feeling

Feeling, but, she was numb, how could she feel?

But she did, she still felt for him

She still loved him, missed him

When it came to loving him, all the strength of the world couldn't keep her away

When it came to leaving him, the will of the world could do all but move her

She loves him, still

She misses him, still...

Chapter 87

One of those days, one of those moments

So much to be thankful for, and yet...

Her long hair flies carelessly in the light noon breeze

She notices glistening leaves doing varied dances to nature's tune

She listened as breeze sang to her

Different notes, various tunes

It all made sense

And, in that sense lay its senselessness

She found herself in a vast open field

Consumed almost by long blades of grass

She stood still, and yet, paradoxically she was moving

She allowed life to take her wherever it willed

Sometimes here, sometimes there

She smiled

She'd stopped wondering

Now, she had just one question that really had no answer

Mother Nature, God, angels, whoever is up there, down here, listening

Whoever bore witness, continues to bear witness to her love
