The Essence of a Hug

The night is warm and mystical. The beautiful dark sky splays before us rich, dark, and eloquent, presenting a canvas filled with stars sprinkled like the rarest diamonds; uncut and flawless. As our eyes lock in this timeless moment, I can’t help but feel that God has set the scene with just the right illumination to reflect that look in your eyes.

Only you could achieve that look, for in it I saw our two souls unite together as one… as we stood there, “uncut and perfect” just as Adam stood with Eve in the garden at the beginning of time…

He walks towards me.

My heart flutters at his every step.

The stirrings of love that I immediately feel for him, yell for me to take him into my possession,

But I restrain myself.

Time knows no boundaries as he stops in front of me,

Just to feel that electricity, that invisible pull that draws us together though neither one of us took another step.

As a musician reverently caresses his instrument before he begins to play, his hands slowly move around my waist in an unforgettable grip.

He pulls me close to him.

My arms instinctively go around his neck,

Not because that is where I consciously placed them,

But simply because that is where they belong.

I can feel his chest hard against mine as I take in his captivating scent,

It anchors my very soul.

His eyes mirror all the dreams that I hold within and reflects back to me as I see each one coming into reality.

I slowly stroke the side of his face.

His skin is warm and smooth.

He tenderly follows the motion of my hand hypnotized as he enjoys the feel of my caress…

“I love that.”

My fingers entwine in the softness of his hair and my heart whispers my confession of love.

His heartbeat pulsates through my entire form as it joins with my own, becoming one beat in rhythm.

My hands glide down his strong back,

And his love for me is felt all over.

I am weakened by the joy of the feel of his body strongly pressed to mine as we embrace.

It seems as though time has stopped just for our pleasure.

Not the pleasure of a passionate kiss,

Or the pleasure of making love,

But for the simple pleasure of a luminous hug – two bodies joined as one in an innocent gesture of love.

In the essence of a hug holds our promise to one day become one in the spiritual sense,

As our bodies join physically and our hearts and souls emotionally.

For in my hug I commit to you for eternity.

I hope you enjoyed "The Essence of a Hug." I appreciate your time. Sending love and hopes of everything good and healing to you.
