The Bouquet’s Bellow
The depth of her gaze stirred the cauldron of emotions in my heart. Her bright and beating brown eyes were fixed upon my stern face, a feeling of comfort and everlasting love spiraling up my body from my toes to the top of my head, threatening to envelope me in a fiery robe of the most passionate warm sensations a human could experience. The power this woman holds over me is overwhelming, divine even, and I can’t imagine my life without her being a character written into my movie’s main cast; her, as the main protagonist of my movie, my life, my existence.
The sea was restless, the ship dips in and out of the water’s surface like a snorkeler plunging into the depths, unable to submerge for whatever odd reason yet consistent in their efforts to glimpse the world under the waves. The never-ending expanse of the sea is beautiful in its brutality; yet so horrible in its rulership. My lover, the only spirit brilliant enough to subterfuge the Lord of this watery province and become the Lady most treacherous, is the only wonder of the world I truly admire. The only land I wish to delve into and explore. The only bit of knowledge I truly want to drink and learn. The only thing in the world want is her.
I grab her hand, our fingers intertwining, sculpting a shape as spectacular as the shapes drawn and sculpted by the world’s most meticulous and outlandish artists in human history; the caress of our thumbs, brush strokes upon the hands of each other in which we use as if they are a canvas, painting our emotions in a flurry of bright pink and orange colors into a work of art that leaves us both speechless. We begin to embrace each other, splashing and staining our clothes with a flock of spilled paint we allowed to leak off the stencils of our hearts, as we climb the stern of the Bouquet’s Bellow we have become so firmly wrapped into each other that we begin to dance within the very love and essence of one another; as if we have become hormones being released into each others brain waltzing throughout each other bodies. As we are encased within a cocoon forged among the silk of the wind’s finest strings of lyre that playsthe sweetest tune, a palace cemented with the hardened paint of our overflowing paint buckets, I hear her utter words that kindled the flame enveloping my body and turning my very flesh into a puddle greater than that of the sea: “I love you.”
And I love her.
