Where the Fireflies Fly

It's because you made it

By P.A.Vinura JayasankaPublished 8 months ago 3 min read

I invited you for the longest walk-

with no expectations,

but pure love.

It is because you awakened a new area in my heart that never opened

which I thought

that had died forever.

Exactly two thousand three hundred and seventy-six hours back,

you found the love

you've been resonating

for more than two thousand three hundred and seventy-six years!

Yeah gave me your hand,

and I held it so carefully,

like a sacred diamond

in my left hand.

The look you gave

while gazing around the world,

I saw as the proudest,

yet the humblest glance

of a vibrant peacock.

The strength you carried,

throughout the time,

recalled me the roar of a brave lioness

who fiercely kills all the demons.

I know you saw the trust and truth

in my peaceful eyes,

and so did I.

You gently began to lean toward me

while walking on the shady sidewalk

in that magical evening.

When even the sun

was hiding in the other way

giving us space.

We paused so silently.

And I slowly,

made you lean more toward me

and our eyes met.

They were smiling

with immense peace

for having the love of an eternity.

And then I found

the best listener I had ever met

to listen to my endless talks

that fly from fancy peaks

to deep philosophical trenches.

Also, I found the brave warrior

who would join me

in confronting evil with no conditions.

All of a sudden,

I saw a shimmering set of rings of light,

started passing us.

And we were taken away

by a force we have never experienced before,

still each other holding hands strong.

We reached somewhere blank like a vacuum

where only you and I existed.

All of a sudden I felt a scent came

from somewhere making me

even more peaceful to the fullest.

I sought for

where it came from

and finally realized that

it's from nowhere else but you.

It was the scent of your bliss of love.

At that moment

you looked at my eyes again,

in the usual but most amazing way.

"I'll give my best -just trust me forever!"

was written so gleamingly on them.

Your forehead

was so close to me

and my lips

found that it was

the place to be at the moment.

The silence kept for a few seconds

and again we were encircled

by those circles of lights

and we were taken

through the same dark channel as before.

In a few seconds,

we were back again

at where we were at the beginning.

My princess,

you will recall how magical

the way we were covered

by thousands of fireflies.

Yeah-all around us.

I saw the light in your eyes

and it reflected the love and joy.

And you swiftly grabbed my left hand

and started running after

where the fireflies came from.

It was such a magical stream of light,

I also joined with pleasure.

There were millions of them coming

and still we were running so happily.

We ran, breathless and laughing,

and finally came to a gigantic field spread

till the horizon

where a huge tree was there at its heart.

Baby, do you remember

how beautifully billions of fireflies

were flying around

and for sure it was their home!

I saw you stopped

and held my hands tight.

Then you pressed your body

so lovely and stared at my eyes in glee.

"Baby, this is where we should be"

Your adorable lips broke the silence.

My mind

was whispering the same

as you when I saw it.

Then that babyish giggling of yours

came up so fast

and you jumped over me

and let me down on the flowery ground

making yourself right on top of me.

WHEW!

Again I saw your eyes.

There it was pure love and trust for me.

Then fireflies flew over you

making your frock gleaming

and I witnessed

the most beautiful angel with it.

Next, your nicest voice came up

singing, defeating the power

of all the instruments.

I hugged you tight

right on my chest,

and you found that

it was the safe place for you in life.

Both of our heartbeats started to resonate.

Then I drew you close,

rolled you gently to face the sky,

and your soothing lips

had already found my face in love.

Right then, we saw an amazing shower of meteors

and I saw my baby made a wish

and so did I.

And for sure it was, "May our true love win!".

The night struck us with coldness more

and I pressed you to me that you won't get colder.

This might not have been written

in history as a romantic epic.

But the universe

always saw what we were doing

and how we started

a new chapter and blessed us.

So the prettiest,

a day would come making these all

harsh sacrifices win through, letting us soar high in love!
