"Thoughts about my sweetheart..." by Deus_ultima

Often, we go through life in a relative happyness. We have our car,our house with picket fences, a spouse, kids, and our dog loves us...

Working and livin' 9 to five like automated robots. Never too happy..never too angry. Not too opiniated either.. that's so politically incorect.. Just very "neutral" and bland individuals that have long ago put aside our childhood dreams to live a "responsible" life..

Well... I have to admit I'm a fairly pasionate person..and even though I had put away a few of my childhood dreams, they kept haunting me every day..

And then...out of the blue came a Princess.. Most beautifull among the beautifull with a kind heart and beautifull spirit.

I've rearranged your stars, she said,

ajusting them to catch the light

And that she did...

Thanks to her, I've started dreaming again..

Thanks to her, I feel alive again, passion, flowing through my veins like a wild stream, my heart beating like a drum...

Everyday, thinking of her comming I grow more and more restless, more and more anxious... and then her voice comes to my ear, soothing like the sun on a flower at the first lights of dawn..

Without ever laying her hand upon me, she's healed all my wounds..

Withouth ever holding me in her arms, she made me feel her warm touch..

Without ever meeting her, she made me want to love her, honor her and protect her for the rest of my life..

After years of being closed up on myself, i finally stand tall, my head in the clouds.

I am a giant.

No matter how far she is, I can reach her, feel her next to me. The earth beneath me transmitting the vibration of her every step, the wind, softly whispering the words she speaks to my ear, the sun, rising everyday showering me with the warmth of the love we share.

My whole being immersed by her, I'm actually becoming more and more myself as time passes.

Passion and love are words too still for what I feel for her as it is growing every day, every hour, every minute and every second..

Finally, words from Pablo Neruda as my own are still under shock from the all the joy she brings upon me..
----------------------------

And when you appear
all the river sound
in my body, bells
shake the sky,
and a hymn fills the world.

Only you and I,
only you and I, my love,
listen to it.
--------------------

For me you are a treasure more laden
with immensity than the sea and its branches
and you are white and blue and spacious like
the earth at vintage time.
In that territory,
from your feet to your brow,
I shall spend my life.
---------------------

Now for those reading this...you might think I'm crazy.. which I am.

But remember your love and passion of the past...remember what you wanted to be, who you wanted to be with..

Go and do so quick before time catches up with you, because it's always better to live your dream than to chase it...and believe me..I know..
;)

And of course, thank you Nickie, my darling, for being in my life..
