Landscape And Poetry

The light slowly faded

The light slowly faded as the sun sets over the horizon. I could taste the saltiness of the ocean as the cool breeze carried its scent onto us. I touched the wooden rails, as my fingers trace over its coarse, old and rough edges. The ocean waves crashed over and over on the rocks and onto the shore giving off surprisingly pleasant and relaxing sounds. Streaks of pink, red, and dark blue painted the sky but I couldn’t pay much attention to it. I could not stop staring at her. She was far more beautiful than anyone or anything that I have ever seen. The wind brushed off her hair to the side, showing off her beautiful face. In that moment, I knew I had to kiss her. I felt the jitters on my skin and the nervousness all the way to my bones but I knew I had to go for it.

I walked towards her, and I slid my arm around her waist to pull her close to me. My arm felt the smooth fabric of her clothes, the shape of her body and felt the smallness of her whole being compared to mine. My lips pressed against hers, her lips were warm and soft. In the kiss, it was as if I took a part of her soul so that I can have her forever. It started on her lips and felt it move all the way to my throat. It was like my breath was being taken away, the only way to breathe was to kiss her more. I felt it go into my heart as I felt my chest constricting like a heavy but pleasant force was pushing my chest downward. It settled in my stomach like there were fireworks that flew upwards and then exploded into vibrant beautiful colors. It was as if all the colorful butterflies that died there became alive again. I pulled back just a little to look at her. She opened her eyes, and I knew that she felt the same things as her eyes spoke louder than any words could say. She leaned in, wanting to kiss me more. It was strange, I pulled back only for a second and yet I already miss those soft lips of hers. I pulled her closer and allowed our lips and our hearts to play more with each other.

When the kiss ended, I tried to play it cool, like nothing ever happened but it was in that moment that I knew, her lips are the only lips I would want to kiss over and over again till eternity ends.
