I know it's been a while since the last installment, but I had some
other matters to attend to. Exams sure make writing a bitch. Anyway,
the next chapter is finally here, for those few of you who are
following this series.

The Die Is Cast - Chapter 5 - Perfection
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by The Legendary Redhawke
The skin upon my cheek of rose, became aroused by the sweet touch of
two angelic lips. The aura of love flowing between us two but made
me lose sight of what obstacles lay before my soul. The heavenly
judge looks poorly upon sinners, regardless of their penance. My
eyes rose with my heart, to gaze upon the sapphires set deep within
the most innocent of souls.
"Good morning muffin." she said as a hymn heavenly. She, Mina, was
but a faded memory now, but soon she would return to full clarity.
Piteous 'twas indeed, but all would be rectified, in time. The
terrible problem was whether its time would be time enough to save
my shattered soul.
"Morning Serena." I replied as sweetly as could candy be compared to
honey. "How did you sleep?"
Her radiant diamonds shone into my eyes so brightly, that ne'er could
a sorrow be sighted. Her tender lips met mine to seal the pact of love,
so gloriously forged the previous evening. As we bathed in the
afterglow of heaven, I knew that I had to be gone, and in due haste. To
stay longer than this, would be to expose my sins to my sweet, pure
little bunny.
"I have to go love, your parents would flip if they found me here."
"I know." she said, with the first sorrow to cross her heart. I could
see a thousand wishes pass by her mind, none of them fulfilled by her
own doing. She began to part her lips, to speak the one wish she hoped
to be fulfilled. I jumped at this glorious opportunity, and indulged
with her in a kiss like the stars in the sky had all come down to hallow
our bond.
"I'll come by tomorrow baby." Those were the final words spoken as I
leapt from the balcony, to the sunlight flooded street below. I walked
off the stage, as the romantic hero. How ironic life can be.
My head had never spun faster than it did that glorious morning. There
were now, two incredible women, both more beautiful than the day itself,
devoted to my pathetic soul. I had to see my angel, now more than ever,
for penance paid was never more in vain, than when for a misguided
choice.
The glowing torches down dear Mina's street glowed with all the radiance
of my sweet angel's smile. They led me to my haven in the night. The
silhouette that once had brought so much joy to my heart, now stood as a
sign of fear high above the moonlit street. The journey's path had been
wrought with my leap from the balcony of the heavenly Serena, and now
had to reach its end.
My angel's window, upon this night, was opened in expectance of my sweet
presence. 'Twas signalled by the sailing rose through the panes. In
her
slender fingers, my sign had found its truest home. Her lips shone a
crimson deeper, and more passionate than the petals of the richest
rose.
As she leaned from the window, in her finest gown, she gazed upon my
tuxedo clad figure, standing alone in the pale moonlight. A soft smile
found its way to me from high above, and sunk deep into my heart. The
wind whistled through the oak trees so calmly, as to seem to call our
souls toward it.
Our souls followed the heedings of the softest wind, and settled
themselves beneath the gallant oak. There, her head rested so lovingly
upon my shoulder. Our hands became intertwined, as the energy seemed
to flow between us, so smoothly, like we two were one.
Our fingers were agedly emulated by the nettled branches high above our
dainty heads. Our forbidden love here had been called by nature
itself.
Gentle drops upon the pond before us led to an early exit from our
silent
retreat. I stood from the softened ground below, still gently grasping
her fine fingers between my own. She too rose above the moist earth,
and
broke the lock between our fingers.
Our energy never faltered though, and our eyes locked, to forge an
eternal
bond. She set her arms around my neck, and mine around her waist, to
join
in an embrace hallowed further than our silhouetted liason.
For the first time, our souls truly became as one.
She drew me into the kiss that shall I e'er remember, for it shall be
ever,
the most passionate. My angel's love was now perfection, and sweetest
all,
for 'twas mine to behold. She had bound herself to my heart, evermore,
despite what scorning eyes may interpret.
I carried her drenched body above, to her still open window, and set my
angel
upon her satin sheets. Her eyes opened but slightly, to beckon me
stay. I
smiled ever so softly, as I shook my head. She knew my situation, and
accepted things as they were. 'Twas only I, who feared the secretive
nature
of our love.
I laid a gentle kiss upon her rose cheek before I leapt once more from
my
silhouetted paradise. She whispered three words to my soul, three words
to
my heart, and three words to the world.
I shed a single tear as I left her house that fair evening. One tear
for the
love that I had to leave. One tear for a life I could never have. One
tear
for a heart I was forced to break.
*** And so I dance with you in my dreams, dear Mina. You smile at me, I
guess ***
*** I'm just a fool. I gave up so much just to hold you in my arms.
You may ***
*** never know just how
much. ***
Let her shed one tear for my sorrowed soul.
