All we have is now

Sometimes in the midst of the darkness you see the light, sometimes although surrounded by light all you can see is darkness...sometimes the only firm ground about your life wobbles, and trembles with uncertainty...and sometimes something new becomes a shoulder for you to rest your head on. Look at her eyes and I drift away, I drown in the warm sea of her eyes, swept away by wave after wave of tenderness and I melt.
I melt, the big wide shoulders that held her tight. The eyes; intensely brown, they saw right through her and the tenderness of his touch.
I let go of all restraints and slowly deteriorate and break down, I melt and I drown in her sea and we become one.
At the touch of his hands, as he strokes the inside of her elbow and her neck at the waves he sends throughout her body, the chills as their lips touch like velvet.
He lets go of his worries, like the sun lets go of its rays that light our world and melts in the watery embraces of the sea. It sinks in slowly enjoying how the sea brushes and caresses its cheeks. Its rays in its delight create a spectrum of all colors red signaling their approval of this love.
As the sun sets, making all the right moves, making the sea feel at ease, making this earth a comfortable place...touch me, kiss me, hold me tight.
The love celebrations continue till sun down, they go on till the sun is fully submerged in the sea, laying in the embraces of its lover, tranquilized by love and engulfed in a magically poetic rhyme. Then silence. The fiery flames of love that have burnt so energetically telling the whole world of their love, gradually it burnt; slower and slower till it was finally silent. But it does not die, no; it gives birth to a full moon.
Tell me not of the moon and how it lights my world, tell me not of the moon, and how it shines in his eyes and how it sometimes remains ignored, when he smiles.
Tell me of her smile and how it puts the moon to shame. How it lights the heavens and how the earth wakes up everyday just to have one more look. And how the sea gets jealous, try to copy the shining rays, silvery in the midnight blue of a cold night, sheltered in the arms of a loved one, comforted by their warmth. But all the sea can do is reflect it and gaze upwards, its waves trying hard to reach up and touch it, but it fails and as tide after tide is born, her smile still gives the world its warmth.
And the wind speaks of their love traveling all around the world, whispering to the people stories of how it witnessed it all. It carries whispers that erupt from the heart of the love stricken to the hearts of the envious. It fills heart after heart with warm glee, calms the souls and gives love itself hope after all when in fact love is hope. Had the wind not been there to caress the skin, had the sun not been there to twinkle in his eyes and the moon to dance on his face hopeless such a hopeless world.
The touch of her hands, the way she looks at him and the way her fragrance lives deep in his soul makes him smile, and how his makes her just want to bury herself in those arms, as close as she can and her nose touches his neck and her hands feel his heartbeats, faster now as he tilts his head lower the world disappears now. He doesn't want to move from her side, his heart holds on tight, nothing can surpass this, he can't feel any better. In this moment, he's happy...she's happy and there's no worry that can spoil it. He holds her hands and she hugs him tight, that where they should be for the rest of their lives.
He speaks of the word forever and she puts a finger to his lips...the smirk that makes her forget why "Sad" existed...it forms... They have the touch of love, everything they touch lights up with a feeling lost for a very long time, happiness. They inspire all that is around them to love, to smile and to forget. Sadness retreats as they embark on the world, beware treacherous pain, and unwanted heart break, for their love will cleanse the world from your likes, because now is all that matters. Now is all we have, all THEY have...apart from their love is each other. And that's all they need.
