A story of endless love

[angel222]

Wow, I'm finally posting something here again ^_^
This time I'm 4 poems that form a story. The first 3 are from the prespective of the girl, the last one is the guy talking.

A story of endless love

Stage 1 :
Sunny fields

In the light of twilight I sit
tears still running down my face
the stars we once saw
have since long burned out

In a soft tone I sing
the song of a farewell
those who are leaving
might never be seen again

Please don?t cry
even if the sun will lose it?s shine
the butterflowers are still swaying
on our fields so far away

The gentle voice is disappearing
in the growing distance
that what we once knew
we?re threatening to lose it all

In a soft tone I sing
the song of a farewell
For those who are leaving
I sing this goodbye

Please don?t cry
even if the sun will lose it?s shine
the flowers are still blooming
on the fields in the weeping sun

The stars we once saw
have since long burned out
the nightsky has turned into
a different blue

Waiting for you
when you return to come home
even if our fields are in flames
and are lost

The day our flowers are crushed
there will still be a fire
burning inside me
I?m still waiting

Your gentle voice is disappearing
in the ever growing distance
you who I once knew
I?m threatening to lose you now

Stage2 :
path of a star

Where have the stars gone?

With my eyes closed I sit down in the shine
of this falling night that embraces me

The shining stars we once saw now guide the way
to a time that was lost, so long ago
The voice that whispered to me
has faded into the black

The kind smile I once loved
now lost and gone in this dark night
so long ago so far away
I still wait to hear your voice

Even if tonight was the end of you
I?d give anything to see you once more

The kind ignorance we once knew now turned
into a sad truth, so lonely
The hand which once held mine
has bid me farewell

The kind smile I once loved
now lost and gone
so long ago so far away
I still wait to hear your voice

Even if following the stars is the end of me
I?d give anything to see you once more

so long ago, so far away
I see you in this distant dream
those times we shared are lost
but not forgotten

Stage3 :
Returning of a friend

We sit in the soft grass
with our backs against each other
This moment is so gentle
I want to hold on to it forever

Behind this red sun we see
lies the sorrow we left behind yesterday
This face once tainted with sadness
now smiles kindly to me again

Never say farewell again
even if the sky cries out
Stay here with me
Frozen in this moment forever

My hand which was reaching out
now rests into yours
Under this red sky I recall
our tears from yesterday

I?d give anything to heal
those deep wounds in your heart
we were once careless
but we now carry these scars

Behind this red sun we see
lies the sorrow we left behind yesterday
This loneliness we once felt
is now disappearing with the sun

With your heartbeat next to mine
I feel a gentle comfort
Swaying with the soft blowing wind
Time seem to be lost forever

In this moment we longed for
this silence means so much more
Your voice which was once broken
is now humming a silent song

Behind this red sun we see
lies the sorrow we left behind yesterday
In this peaceful moment
I rest with you?

Stage4 :
Dreams ending

The sun was shining on your face
as you smiled again
In your eyes I forgot
the worries I had

I still remember
The kindness you taught me
even in this cold night
I clearly see the lines of your face

I?m waiting for you to return
knowing you never will
I was happy to see you
for the little time that was left

On that hill you once sat on
I?ve taken place
I try to find you on the horizon
Like you tried to find me

Back then your tired face smiled kindly
and I left you resting on these fields
If only I had known
I would never see you again

These flowers you loved
are all that is left of us
This sorrow I feel
for I never knew you were ill?

So what do you think ?

This was ... I have no words. It was so beautiful, with a kind of ethereal quality that just made every single word stand out on its own and flow. It was a gorgeous, if somewhat sad story it told, and I loved how you made the 'story' so picturesque, making it easy for the reader to actually visualize her longing for her lover.

So beautifully real. It was magical and I liked how it was told in prose, and not written into a story format.

Simply wonderful, Angel. Kudos to you!

I'm glad you like it. I didn't know wether it was good or nog, so this is encouraging.

This is an original sort of drabble I did inspired by the song "Bella Luna" by Jason Mraz. Lyrics are posted at the bottom of the fic...


1. HIM

The soft strains of the guitar reached his ears and he looked up from the glass of whiskey he had been idly swirling in his hand. Beside him, his friends were already on the verge of drunk, their eyes blood-shot and their collars loosened. And from the way they were talking, it seemed that their tongues were a lot more loose than their collars.

He was the only one who had not been drinking.

For him, it was enough that everyone else was making an idiot of himself. He was not going to add to that so he just held on to the one glass of whiskey that they had ordered for him, not bothering to put it to his lips.

It wasn't that he detested the alcohol, but just that he thought it was a waste of time. He was here to enjoy the companionship of his friends, not do something he would regret in the morning -- but his friends were half past the raving lunatic level and he was afraid he was going to have to pile them up into the car and drive them all home himself.

He sighed and looked away from the ridiculous sight that were his friends and then his breath caught in his throat.


2. HER

She was feeling quite unhappy where she was sitting. Her best friend had successfully accosted a young man to dance with her and while she was usually happy for her friends finding romance, tonight she felt strangely jealous.

It had to be the ambience and the music, she reasoned. Raising another shot of tequila to her lips, she sighed before shutting her eyes and swallowing just enough alcohol to bring tears to her eyes. She coughed a little, quickly wiping her eyes before she got up to head to the bathoom to sulk a little.

She caught sight of her friend swaying cheek to cheek on the dance floor and then her throat ached and she turned sharply on her heel, changing direction and heading to the exit instead.

If she stayed inside any longer, she feared she would flood the entire club with her tears.


3. LOOK

There wasn't enough to begin to describe her. All she had done was sit there and all of a sudden his heart was pounding in his chest and he felt like she was the only one in the room who could hear it.

The startling Babylonian eyes that she possessed glittered under the glare of the lights. Her delicately winged eyebrows balanced a straight nose that set off her generous mouth. Her skin glowed gold, exotic in contrast to the simple black dress she wore. Even with the modest sleeves she wore that covered her shoulders, he could imagine the silky texture of her skin and he wondered what she smelled like.

She had striking cheekbones and long hair that fell in one smooth coil to one side of her graceful neck. She was much smaller than he had expected when she stood up, yet as she walked out of the club, there was a sense of purposefulness in her gait; almost as if she knew exactly where she was going and no one would be able to stop her.

The doors closed behind her and before he knew it, he had grabbed his jacket and had swiftly followed her...


4. FALL

The sea was beckoning to her. Against the pitch-black of night, millions of tiny stars glittered. The moon was unusually full tonight and gave her the light she needed to gingerly make her way across the sand.

She had long taken off her heeled sandals and sighed in contentment the moment that her bare feet sunk into the sand. There was a twinge of guilt she felt for leaving her friend inside and momentarily she felt like SHE was the one behaving like a child for not enjoying the night.

She slowly turned back towards the club, an apology already forming on her lips when she collided into a chest that felt like it had been reinforced with steel. Bracing herself for the fall that was next, she shut her eyes, surprised to find that it never came and instead, she was hauled up by a steady hand and pulled closer to the same warmth she had felt but scant seconds earlier.

And then she looked up and found the most amazing pair of brown eyes staring down at her and she was lost.


5. DANCE

She felt good in his arms. And though she was no bigger than a child in his arms, he knew that there was much more to her than just this. He smiled at her, wondering if she could feel how fast his heart was beating, almost afraid that she would turn around and run.

But she stayed there, her elfin face turned up to him, glowing silver in the moonlight. Her gaze never wavered, holding his own gaze as steadily as she slowly slid her hands up his arms.

And they started to dance --

swaying slowly at first against the wind to some unkown melody that only they knew in their hearts and then he leaned down, watching as she smiled softly and rose up on her toes to meet his mouth, brushing her lips against his.


6. KISS

She smelled like the ocean. She looked almost ethereal in the moonlight. He had not asked for her name and he knew she would not give it to him. So he kissed her again, more intensely this time, hoping that this one kiss would forever be imprinted in his memory and he would be able to kiss it again in his mind years from now.

The way her lips parted beneath his; the way she sighed into his mouth as she accepted his kiss...it was the one thing he felt made sense. His friends were back inside the club getting drunk and probably flirting with all the girls and he was cradling one nameless woman-child in his arms who only had to smile at him to chain his heart to her forever.

There was that lingering bitter taste of alcohol in her mouth that blended with the sweetness he thought he had only imagined. Her eyes shut slowly, long lashes brushing against his cheek as she angled her head for the kiss. Her small hands clung to him, gripping his forearms hard until her knuckles turned white and he slowly fell to his knees on the sand, dragging her along with him as he fell...

And she held on.

lyrics:

Mystery the moon a hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight so full but often wry
A pair of eyes, a closing one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars to farthest reaches of the beach
And far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They?re giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh, no reservation
If they should fall, you?d get a wish or dedication

May I suggest you get the best for nothing less than you and I
Let?s take a chance as this romance is rising
Oh, before we lose the lighting

Oh Bella, bella please. Bella, you beautiful luna.
Oh Bella, do what you do.

You are an illuminating anchor of leagues to infinite in number
For crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger

You?re dancing naked just for me, you expose all memory,
You make the most of boundary,
You?re the ghost of royalty imposing love,
You are the queen and king combining everything,
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl

I?m just a singer, you?re the world
All I can bring ya? is a language of a lover
Bella Luna, my bella luna
How you swoon me like no other

May I suggest you get the best of your wish
may I insist at no contest for little you and smaller I
a larger chance as this romance is rising
on the brink of our lives

Bella, bella please. Bella, you beautiful luna.
Bella, do what you do.
Bella luna. My beautiful, beautiful moon.
How you swoon me like no other
