A head scratcher...
Looking down at her was all that he did. He stepped low and sat by her
face. Playing with her hair using the tips of his fingers she wakes up.
Looking shocked at what she saw, the untouchable beauty stands up.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
He walks towards her and says softly "I'm here to give you something,
something I had to give you a long time ago."
The stunning goddess steps back in her red dress.
"Walk away"
Walk away she said, he thought. His eyes glided with that dress on her
smooth white body. Her body was so perfect to his eyes he felt at fault
looking at her, yet touching her.
"Don't run away from me. I mean you no harm"
She stood, looked at him and saw his eyes. His eyes spoke no lie. She
stopped. Time stopped. The moon's light sneaked a peek onto her night hair
shining it with its rays feeling like spot lights. She walked more into the
beams of light. Bit by bit her beauty was more revealed. He gasped at
what beauty laid in the dark room he stood in.
"What do you want?"
"I want nothing. Its you who wants things from me. I am here to just
deliver"
"Deliver what" she asked. With that question her lips parted and that one
red line that her lips made turned to two. Two perfect red lines formed on
a white face, so white the room needed no light.
He steps forward with his eyes fixed to her blue crystal ones.
"I am here for this." He hands her a box, "Take this, do not open it till I
am gone. Use it as soon as you can."
He starts to walk away from the beauty that mesmerized him forever, from
the beauty that he always wanted, always needed, and forever lusted.
"Stop!" her white soft hands grabbed his stiff shoulders and turned him to
her. "Who are you!?"
He was afraid to touch her face for she was so beautiful he wanted no
scratch to happen to her. He felt that his hands are not soft enough to
caress such magnificence.
"I am someone who wanted you a long time ago, and forever time to come. I
am someone you will never look back at nor remember. I am someone who as
soon as walks out that door will fall to pieces for your beauty is all I
have ever thought of meeting."
Her red hearted shaped lips swayed to be a smile.
"I am standing here in front of you. What are you waiting for?" she stepped
too close to him that her words felt like they are being imprinted on his
skin.
He looked her in the face then walked away. He stopped and turned with
tears in his eyes.
"Open that box. Know what is in there. Tell me if you still want me. Then I
might stay." He turned to leave.
"Wait!" The stiff body turned to meet her gaze. "I still did not decide!
You have to stay till I open the box! You can not leave"
Tears could not be maintained in his dark eyes anymore. They start
strolling down his cheeks to the ground. "But oh you will push me away. I
would rather go away and not see you shove me away from your life."
The ever lasting beauty touched his face with tenderness and said "Why
would I? Tell me what will I find in this box. Tell me"
The giant beast drops to his knees and begs her to let him go. So she did.
She watched the back of a man she never knew, whom loved her very much,
walk away from her with puzzlement in her heart. She wanted to know. Who is
he? What is he? And why did he come?
The goddess sits under the moon light and opens the box that held a lot of
things that would end her mind quest in finding an answer. Her light finger
fondled with the box like a little doll. The box was snapped open. She
dropped it. Opened her mouth. Screamed in horror. Cried till the skies
above heard her. She couldn't believe what she saw.
What do you think she saw? What would make you scream, cry, and want to die
all in a little box?
