I loved
you like the Sun loves a clear sky
in the noon hours of day; embracing the sounds of Nature’s echoes, playing
hide-and-seek with the white of fluffy clouds.
I loved
you like the Moon loves a starry
night in the eves of twilight; embracing the soothing bursts of fresh air,
serenading thoughts to the melodies of crickets that hide their stare.
I loved
you like the Elements of our made-up
nature – you were Air, and I was Fire, Water, and Earth
combined.
---------------------------------------------
Your
breeze intrigued movement to the calm of my ocean - you brought the waves that
caressed the surface of desires with your timely stranger influence. The serene glass turned to currents, and this
Water gave life to an oscillating
effect of playfulness that only spontaneity could create – and you accompanied
my endeavors, acknowledging my thirst to feed my boredom…
Your
zephyr caressed the planes of my external empty shell - you brought peace to
the shallow planes of commotion with your tender soothing appreciation. The dried up dessert turned to life, and this
Earth gave existence to greener
pastures in my own backyard – and you settled in its unstable foundations,
claiming shelter for a while…
Your
gentle wind whispered a breath to the spark that was lighted dimly in the dark
- you brought it to life with your persuasive word. The glitter turned to Fire, and this Fire gave life to a world of wonders
that only the secrets of my pen could
describe – and you indulged in its complex elegance, seeing more than I was
willing to share…
But
like the Seasons come and gone, so
did the Sun have to sleep, and the Moon had to retrieve its essence every
quarter death. And as for the Elements that claimed their glory in
better lifetimes; their miscarriage was informal, and their time of peaceful
interaction was short-lived.
You
feared your emotional progress
with these Elements was thwarting your natural desire for non-conformity. You were Air and sought to breathe - to
betray the calm before the storm, to create a gap of turmoil, and to continue
your games of chasing the unattainable. You wanted Air alone; you always had. So you became a gust of wind that was
uncontainable, blowing into the extremes of unsettled, unhappy
coordinates. Meanwhile, I remained with
the thirst to burn, to bathe, to bare but given no
motivation to continue. In the confusion of this sudden appearance, the
Elements realized their uproar…
Your
verve cast a Tsunami, and the Water destroyed its surroundings. In a blanket of liquid, time lost its
fluidity, drowning in a seascape of bubbles that burst individually and painfully.
Your
vivacity created a Sandstorm, and
the Earth covered all that was
fruitful. In a blanket of sand, all that
once flourished now withered, buried deep under every particle of trust that faded away into oblivion.
Your
despair blew out the Light, and the Fire lost its vivid lucidity. In a blanket of darkness, the secrets averted
their truthful demise, readjusting their vision to keep the dimmed spark from
fading away with subconsciousness consciousness.
---------------------------------------------
Reconciliation could not bring harmony to what died during the interaction of our Cosmos.
And the Sun that I loved hid
its face from the Moon that I
worshipped, never again sharing a space in the sky of dusk or in the dawn of a
new day.
The cycle of Seasons
of lifetimes before I loved you learned to pause its persistent gamble with Fate.
Air had not yet been taught
to co-exist with itself, and the remaining Elements
betrayed their reasons under the umbrella of tricks and treasons.
We had not yet acknowledged, (until its timely end
after Life), that our beginning had been pre-determined by the strings of Fate’s playful creativity.
But despite the irrational absurdities that wrote
our time in another chain of events, I loved you like the Sun, the Moon, and the Elements combined - and that makes
blissful this uncontained heart of nostalgia.
