My love is not of this world, she thought.
She was complicated in her simplicity, she knew this.
She was the type of girl that smelled of sandalwood and open fields
after a long Summer rain; intoxicating, fresh and simple to take in with
a depth that seeped into the very soul. She didn’t need to be saved
only to be stood by and loved deeply while she saved herself.
Her
heart bled poetry whose tomes were unread none having the eyes to see
the words written there. Yet there was a humor in her that danced freely
and oh how she loved to laugh.
She was at once a mystical journey into the heart of the Earth and the calm found in the fading light of sunset. She had to be swam so deeply to be understood at all and so few had bothered to even dip in a toe.
Her mystery could never remain silent, this she knew. It came out.
The truth always had a way of doing that. She could never silence the
magic that flowed through her or the wild passions that coursed in her
veins.
Better to be left for what she was than to be loved for a mask, she thought with a heavy heart.
She wondered sometimes as she stared into the dancing trees if there
was anyone on this planet that felt this depth, this longing. Perhaps
they were on another planet.
Maybe that’s why she spent so much
time searching the stars, looking for a sign of the light shining
somewhere for her. Maybe she was looking for a home that she had not yet
found.
To be this weird, this wild, with this much heart and this depth; the joker, the goddess, the mystic and the lover.
It pained her sometimes.
Who could dance with this passionate fire, ride the waves of this
endless sea, laugh to the depths of their being and choose to embrace
all of it openly knowing it was only the beginning.
He would smell of home, she decided, and his skin would feel as familiar as her own.
She didn’t need a mask of perfection only his authenticity with truth
etched upon his brow and the glow of real love shining in his eyes.
She
didn’t want some unrealistic ideal only the beating of his heart against
hers and a smile etched on their lips, as they traced the ancient love stories on each others' skin.
He would drink her in
like it was the most natural thing he had ever done, needing to satisfy
an ancient thirst. Feeling the depth of the pull towards her he would
open his arms to her mystery, not turn and run.
Without taking a
step he would fall deep into the place that he was always meant to be by
the side of the type of girl that smelled of sandalwood and open fields
after a long Summer rain; intoxicating, fresh air that would fill his
lungs all in one easy breathe with a depth that eased him and soothed
him to the depths of his soul.
Their love story would be of eternity and yet pulsating in each moment. He would provide her relief and she would give him rest. Together, they would love, laugh and live and then no desire, no dream would remain... together they would BE home.
