moonlight to daylight
The city was comatose and still, unaware that the rain had come out to play and was splashing the buildings and washing the wind's face. It was dark and night had covered the township with a shroud, lightning offered an occasional surreal snap-shot. They looked on from their high rise, otherworldly in their appearance, cosmic soul mates who had found each other after travelling multiple galaxies and surviving many life times. They had never compromised refusing ordinary love and lesser lovers never doubting that there existed another who will unlock the secrets to the soul and all the mysteries of the universe.In those moments of rare doubt she would close her eyes and listen intently for the throbbing of his heart and it always came however faint like she had her head on his heart. When they had finally met, everything became silent and the world around started to dim and fade like it never existed. Their eyes grew misty and they embraced. The transformation was immediate all anxiety quelled , serene songs played in their hearts and they understood why they were born and why they would now never die.
They danced involuntarily as every cell of their bodies moved to the beats of a divine cosmic harmony. Magical feelings never experienced before wracked their hearts making them weep in uncontrollable glee. They were ablaze feeling light and airy like they were unable to feel the burden of their own bodies.
He looked at her and said, without you I was like ...
'a sky without stars'
'a violin short of strings'
'a symphony sans it's conductor'
'an ocean devoid of a shore'
'a song bereft of music'
'a rainbow minus it's colours'
'a forest with her trees felled'
'a bird wanting her wings'
'a sun vacant of light'
'a prophet robbed of his prophecy'
'a lover missing his soul'

Dawn had arrived clothing them with an orange-yellow glow.
I had a dream last night she told him.............
