Staring at our blank laptop screens for donkey hours
Slowly turning into well-oiled money vending machines
Queueing outside ATMs and sighing at depleting account balance messages flashing on our fancy smartphones
Drinking every weekend to the point we can’t see our surroundings anymore
Walking to our workplace with cravings for little joys in our pockets
Turning into skeletons with empty rib cages
And then suddenly one day, love knocks on rusty old doors…
The heart gets a loud beating and dusting and comes out of the attic
Cleaned up and ready to beat again with all its blood and flesh
Like a lazy sunny day on a silent beach
Like a garden full of blooming colorful flowers
Like a perfect scoop of chocolate ice-cream after devouring a well cooked meal
Bones find flesh and blood
Life marries living
When the smile of your lover renders you powerless
When a hug slowly melts the world around you and time is frozen
When there is anxious waiting at the airport and passionate embrace awakens your soul
When mind and heart are singing in perfect rhythm
When two bodies move in perfect unison
When the passion in your lover’s eyes can set a forest ablaze
When there is a hand stretched out as you try to walk through dicey rocks
When the silence in your lover’s company is magical
Where there is hearty laughter and lewd jokes echoing through a room
When there are painful goodbyes and waving till the image of your lover dissolves in the crowd
The heart beats and aches and cries, sometimes through tears and sometimes through painful smiles
When there is hope to see again and the ache never ends…
