celestial razzmatazz

Now begins the celestial razzmatazz…
As a ray of white light tears its way thru
The sheets of clouds
Uncovering the face of a gleaming moon
And a million shimmering diamonds embellished on the night sky
 
The stage is set
 
Every bit of the earth
Bathed in the silvery light
Awaits….
 
The breeze blows softer than ever….
playing a dulcet music
The ocean mellower
The sands have formed a cozy bed
The leaves too shy…. try to look to the other side
The senile rocks reinforcing their stoic presence with their breath held in silence
The shadows unmoving.
 
And then he lifts his hand to wipe that tiny drop of tear from her cheeks
That sets on his finger like a precious pearl
Which he would hold closer than his life
Slowly he lays her tender body in the closet of his strong arms
And traces the immaculate strokes of its creator …
His face phlegmatic…….
His heart ecstatic…. at the sheer joy of having unearthed such a treasure.
 
She quivers as she feels his dexterous hands on her bare body
She feels herself melting and turning into smoke against the heat of his
Every molecule of her aching in pain ……..
Wanting to be soothed by his touch…..
As he moves painstakingly slowly………..savoring every bit of her….raising the stakes with his every kiss.
This could be his last chance…..he might not see the sun again…..
It was a conspiracy…..destiny had conspired against them.
 
He holds a rage deep inside him that even a murder cannot quell.
 
But now he has her ……
In those innocent eyes….
Lies the panacea of all the agony that life has bestowed upon him
As he lies in her bosom
Under the canopy of those black tresses
Falling from over her chiseled cheeks curling round her radiant soft shoulders
Filled with the warmth of her breath
Palm of her hand on his head
He feels like a baby…….
Oblivious to quandary that surrounds his life.
He doesn’t want to think of the day ahead
With her love, he wants to cleanse his soul of every reminisce of revulsion
 
There is too much to be said……in too little a time……..
And so they lie…… immersed in each others gaze ….. flesh to flesh
 
The horizon holds a tender mist in its eyes           
As it sees the rising waters of the ocean splashing against their bare bodies
And they bask in the euphoria of complete surrender.
