Crescent Moon

In a dark night where the piercing light of the crescent moon brushed through the leaves of the trees. I was there standing right beside of a massive water fountain with a Venus’s figure in the center. It also had some colonnades to the sides, with grape vines growing around. It was a beautiful night garden full of tulips, roses, sunflowers and jasmines. The sky was cloudless with a dark violet tone. I was able to see one arm of the Milky Way with its thousands of suns and shooting stars. I walked through this Utopian landscape, with my leisurely pace so aimlessly like if I were waiting for someone or something. Then when I got down hill I found in the very middle of nowhere, just standing with only gravity holding it a very large mirror with an oval form which was framed with silver.There I could see myself for who I was. I had light golden brown skin with a long white silk dress that discovered my whole back and stopped just right before buttocks. And on my back, hanged loose a golden thick chain that in the very end was a crescent moon attached to a transparent quartz. I had blond platinum hair, wavy and long until my waist. My face shone as a young elf. After I saw myself, I decided to continue walking down hill, when suddenly in the distance I could see someone else, so I didn’t hesitate for a second to go and meet this mysterious being. When I got closer with every step, my heart started beating faster, because I couldn’t believe what my eyes saw. The other person who was there seemed increasingly like me every-time as I got more closer to her. But unlike me she had a long black coat with a buttoned black silk shirt, her elegant trousers and heels were black too. On front of her chest their lade hanging the same chain, but made of white gold. It also ended with a backward crescent moon attached to a onyx stone. Her hair was long and wavy like mine but light brown. She was looking at herself in the mirror like I was doing a moment ago. And then, she looks at me through the reflection of the mirror, and I was shocked to see that she had a strong resemblance to me. It was like having a twin. And then, when suddenly she spoke:

– I love your white Versace dress, but I prefer the Bvlgari’s line and by the way, I’m not your twin.

It cannot be, she was reading my mind! She had just answered my thoughts as I was wondering who is this mysterious beautiful woman was, and I remark beautiful because she looks just like me. So I insisted to ask her:

-Who are you? Why do you have my appearance?

– You should be asking why are we here? And I don’t have your appearance. I am just me.

She did not answer any of my questions, so I was incredibly even more confused than a moment ago. Then I asked her:

-Well then, why are we here?

-That is something you need to figure out for yourself, just like him.

Then I started to turn my face to see who was she referring when she said him, who was a beautiful blond boy with fair skin, with piercing blue eyes, dressed with a silk shirt just like her, but indigo blue, and with a long elegant trouser and black shoes. He was sitting on a bench near to the fountain, he seemed like he liked to workout alot for his proportional body. He looked fairly concentrated reading his book.

-Who is he?

– What do you think?

-I do not know, don’t you think that if I knew the answer, I wouldn’t be here asking you at this time?

– Don’t you think that if I know, then you will know it too?

-I don’t understand what you mean. Why if you know the answer, I should know it too? We are two completely separate persons, it is impossible to know the others thoughts or think the same.

– Do you think so?

-I don’t think so, I know!

-How about, if none of this that surrounds us exist? And this is all a recreation of your imagination or mine.

-You mean that I don’t exist? Bah! Nonsense, of course I exist! If not, I wouldn’t be here talking you right now.

-How can I rephrase this to you? What if this is a dream that some of us is having right now, and that at first light, all of this will vanish along with all of us.

-Well, that would be horrible… I don’t want to believe that life could vanish in a matter of hours. But I still think you are pure humbug!

– Do you really think so?

– You really are going to keep saying the same thing every time I tell you my opinion, are you?

– Do you think so? – Mocking laugh – Okay, I’ll get serious. What if all this is more than a fleeting thought yours or mine?

– Are you gonna continue with the same thing over and over again? I’m already tired of having this conversation with you. So I better enjoy the time to be here in this beautiful garden instead of arguing nonsense with you.

– Exactly! You are enjoining the moment. As i am here just questioning the matter of my main existence and what all this means. But you seem to amuse me, I’m liking you…

I was honestly captivated with all she was saying, but it bothered me the fact that she thinks that this is all nonexistent and fiction. That all memories and life event aren’t real and would dissipate in pore hours. But above all that, I felt myself somehow involved with her. Felt so amused with her… That I was having feelings for her, and as clearly as i know this, I knew she felt the same way.

CRESCENT MOON THE SMALL WATERFALL (PART 2)

Enjoying the scent of pine, I walked by this beautiful garden watching the bushes, flowers, the huge font and the stars. I keep walking through a white pebbles path which was leading me right to the forest. I was feeling a real necessity to get away from that beautiful place because I knew a part of me that was buried into the deepest place of my soul. Walking through the woods I hear a small stream of water, so I went over. When I got there, I found a beautiful small waterfall merging with a long river. That river became a mirror because it could perfectly reflect the sky. So when I get closer to the edge of the river I could be able to admire those mighty stars through the water. It was like the whole universe were just under my feet, and I was real lucky to see a few shooting stars. Everything that makes me up were connected with nature, and my soul was embracing its surroundings but then I realized that something was missing, a part of me was not complete yet. So when I get more closer to the edge of the river, and I saw her in my reflection. My heart stop beating just for a second, then I close my eyes and open then, just looking for my reflection and it was me again. That’s when I realized I have been craving for go and see her at least one more time. For the first time I have this huge connection with someone else, and specially with an unknown person who looks just like me.

So I walked back down through the same pebbles path. Walking through the forest I was wondering if I was part of the landscape or the landscape was already inside of me but that night I was feeling a real connection with the whole universe and specially with her. I got closer to where we met before and indeed she was sitting on the bench next to the boy, reading a philosophic book. So that makes me happy and I smiled while I was approaching to her. Then I asked:

– How is the book?

-Hey, finally you came back, how was the “fresh air”?

– Well, it was pretty good, in fact you should take a few minutes of your time and go to breathe a little of that”fresh air”. Maybe that helps you to change your mind and loose those weird ideas yours.

We both laugh a lot and she got these look like she were glad to have me there. She closed her book and invites me to sit right beside her. I instead sat on the other bench, because I could not be so close to her. She smiled at me and said

– I’m glad you’re back because I really missed seeing someone there getting upset.

-I was not upset. -I looked at her seriously

-Of course… of course… you were enjoying the whole conversation, right!

-Of course I was, if not, I were not be here talking to you, don’t you think?

-Hmm… you might right but I have to confess that I love watching your mad face whenever I say something about “my existentialist theories.”

-Oh please don’t start with that again. I can’t stand with your bizarre theories.

Then we talked for a little bit, making each other laugh. She always kept his penetrating gaze all over my body, lips and my eyes; so I was getting a little uncomfortable trying to change the subject of what we were talking or I just make some awkward questions to try divert her gaze which was disturbing me, and apparently nothing works because she was awakening more interested in me. The same thing happened to me.

She asked me;

-Are you scared? Why are you so far from me?

-It’s not you whom I am afraid, its me.

-Really… but if you are just a harmless dove.

– So that’s what you think huh; but guess what? I have my dark side too.

This time she laughed even more loud, which bothered me a lot because she was not taking my point seriously.

-Are you mad my little dove? Why are you so serious?

-How many times I have to tell you that I’m not upset or mad.

-Alright, don’t eat me fierce; don’t approach me with those sensual lips of yours, but guess what? Never mind, I surrender, so eat me all…

-What?

– relax dove, I’m just kidding.

I started to feel bad because I was taking this conversation so serious and she doesn’t. I start to caring too much of what she thinks about me. But then I choose to apologized to her;

-I’m sorry, I will try to not be too serious with you but it bothers me that you take me for a joke.

-Oh I see, in that case please apologized me if I made you feel bad for something I said.

-Do not worry, I understand you…

She changes her face and stayed looking the sky so thoughtfully, losing her eyes through the horizon while she was playing with one of her lips. Touching it with her left index finger with the same hand that was holding a silver pendulum. I was wondering what happened to her, so I asked her;

-May I know what is happening?

She smiled and turned her piercing eyes at me,

-What do you think?

-Well, I don’t know.

-I’m thinking about you, my little dove.

I felt like I had a bunches of butterflies flying in the stomach, my heart beat faster than before and I felt a small lump in my throat. I wanted to say everything about my feelings for her but I wasn’t ready, maybe she was playing with my mind. What about if she rejects me. But my body reacted each time she looked at me in a way so passionately like she were undressing me with just her eyes. But I instead tried to hide from her, while I was keeping control of the situation and specially over me. But sometimes I felt like this temptation is bigger than me; it was so strong that it could dominates me at any time, dragging me to her lips. Then she asked with naughty smile;

– May I know, what are you thinking?

-Nothing at all, I’m just enjoying this moment.

– That’s what I love from you. You choose to enjoy every moment, every smell, every taste. I’m still wondering how taste your lips at this moment.

Why she said that, I felt like a little pull in the belly. So I whisper so seriously -Please try to don’t do that again, we shall respect each other , this is a serious matter.

-Oh excuse me my lady. I’m going to take back what I just said; because I forgot that you are the one who get upset so easily.

I smiled a little bit and then I said:

-Well at least I’m not crazy.

-Excuse me please, do you have something against to mad people huh…

-Nothing really, in fact I prefer to talk with them, they are the weirdest and the coolest ones.

-Hmmm… interesting answer, now I like you even more than before.

– So you didn’t like me at all huh

– Not, I didn’t mean that, I like you a lot.

– Well that means it’s time to have another walk for fresh hair.

She smiled and looked at me with lovely eyes, -Go therefore enjoy this beautiful garden as far as you can, because in the morning everything will vanish along with us.

-You never desist from your horribles ideas, you really cannot be helped.

-You know what? I always have this idea of stop thinking about everything and not been worry about nothing. Just existing and start enjoying the moment, but my mind is too conniving to waste my time on those things, plus I’m always aware of all the possibilities, you never know which one will be the real one.

-That’s bad, you take away all the fun of everything.

-And you take away the sense and logic.

– You’re right, but overthinking too much is not good for you, because it makes you worried about everything around you and you will suffer of anxiety for being worry of what future can brings us, instead of being busy in the present.

-I know right; I should enjoy every part of you right now.

It cannot be, I felt the same pull in my belly and my eyes blinked so rapidly. I was so ashamed of me.

She was dying of laughter, and I was really piss off but once again. But I trying to calm down and asked her:

– Did I’ve missed something?

-Not really, beautiful. But is not a big deal being a little nervous on from me.

-Excuse me… – she completely out her mind- I was thinking

-I’m just joking with you again, I enjoy very much to see all your faces.

-Awww, that is not funny at all.

-If you saw yourself as I’m seeing you, you will laugh a lot but guess what? you already are…

-Ok, say what?

– Nothing really, just me and my weird thoughts,.

-that’s very normal from you.

She start smiling and said,

-I have heard that a lot.

That was the weirdest but at the same time the most beautiful conversation I’ve ever have in my entire life. She made me feel things I never thought I would experiment with anyone. I wanted to strangle her while I’m kissing her with the sweetest and gentle touch. I wasn’t proud of my feelings. My mind judged me every moment I look at her with lust but my heart was delighted with the mere idea that she felt the same for me despite her silence. Time was running out but every minute my desire becomes more intense every minute. I could stand there feeling my blood burning like fire that was consuming me gradually.

We look at the sky and it was beautiful, we stay a little longer just contemplating the constellations and imagine forms with clouds. Sometimes we stay in silence just hearing those night birds and then we start counting how many shooting stars we could see and who saw more than the other. Sometimes she looked at the sky like she were wondering what is beyond of those stars, while at the same time bite her lips so softly. It was so delightful seeing her so vulnerable, so hot. She became my inspirations and my ecstasy. The only thing I wanted to do is jump on her without any fear and steal a french kiss at the same time I am touching her chest so smoothly. But I was aware that couldn’t seeing her in that way, I had to awake from this dream. I couldn’t let those feelings win, nor could even tell if she feels the same way for me. I was so silly and sad because I had never imagined that someone could enchanted me with such sensuality and beauty. Disturbed me though that same look she had me. I really could not keep torturing me with her presence so I decided to leave even for a moment, to take a break, to feel a little relief, because as long she was there, my mind would not stop fighting with my heart. I could not be more time there, it just not right. So I decided to heading steadily toward her and say:

-I gotta go, right now!, but it was really nice to meet you and as we have finished with this conversation, I would like to take some fresh air.

-More “fresh air”!, well then be careful. Try to not get inflated like a balloon with too much air because here we have plenty fresh air for both.

Then I stare with a fake smile and told her – thank your for your most unsuccessful attempt to make me laugh but as a friend I advise you never dedicate yourself to comedy, it’s not for you.

She stared at me with a straight face as if she hold her breath just a few second until she exploded with loud laughter in front of me.

-Wow! You really fussed, it was a joke and definitely this not for make you laugh. I did it because I love seeing you mad. You’re look sexy.

– Ha… ha ….. I’m laughing so loud, you’re happy now.

She kept laughing out loud, until she calmed down, smiled, stood up front of me and gave me a big hug. Then she whisper in my left ear:

-Yes dear, you just make me my night, and I really appreciates that. You’re a very unique and funny my little dove, never change that and take care of yourself. It was real pleasure to have you with me just for a little bit longer.

When she released me, she looked at me straight into my eyes, while I stayed petrified and getting blushed. She look really happy to see me and the last thing she told me,

-I love seeing you blushing, and you know what? I will never forget you, but hopefully I’ll see you around my little dove…

She kept going into the woods and disappeared into the shadows of the foliage. I continued walking down through that mysterious garden full of charm.
