Love Exists
Love Exists
You are in a state of relaxation
Nestled deep in the cushions of your friend's couch
Your body is worn out
From an evening of adventure
Your eyeballs are dry and tired
For they have seen more than enough for one day
And now they long to be blanketed
By the smooth touch of your warm moist eyelids
But somehow
Through some form of chemical inducement
Your brain is awake
It has lost interest
In trying to observe the world around you
For your eyeballs have refused to cooperate
So your brain has turned its focus inward
Eager to explore
The Chasms of your sub-conscious
The ebbing and flowing
Of piano music
Pounds in your ears
Setting the mood for internal adventure
At first all is black
But as you look closer
You begin to notice
Tiny colored lights
That dance like faeries
Across the blank page of your mind
Slowly a shape begins to emerge
The outline of two figures
Male and Female
Locked in an embrace
They are utterly content
To stand together
On the stage of your imagination
Wrapped in each others arms
Like you
They are completely oblivious
To the world that surrounds them
They revolve slowly
In front of a backdrop
Of cool winter colors
Suddenly the music surges
The two figures are ripped apart
Their bodies flung in opposite directions
You watch
As they are each sucked into separate vortexes
Cosmic wormholes
In the fabric of your mind
The winter colors
Now swirl together
Like vanilla ice cream
And Chocolate sauce
But wait
The two figures reappear
Speeding toward each other
Across the expanse
Of your chaotic mindscape
They collide
But they are surprised to find
That an invisible barrier
Stands between them
Like a glass windowpane
This translucent wall is infinitely thin
But it stretches out in all directions
The two lovers
Skate this way and that
Frantically looking
For a weak point
To penetrate
Like seals trapped beneath a sheet of ice
Longing for a breath of fresh air
They pause momentarily
Millimeters apart
Yet unable to touch
They simultaneously gaze
Up towards the heavens
Realizing that their only hope
Is to reach the edge
Of this accursed window
They take off at a tremendous rate
Hurtling towards the night sky
Flying side by side
The barrier still between them
They are gaining speed
Their eagerness driving them on
Upwards
Into the oblivion above
Suddenly
They burst through the atmosphere
Plunging fearlessly into space
Your heart leaps
As the two lovers converge as one
Hearts pounding
Eyes closed
Free of the wall that once bared their way
Free to love
Free to soar effortlessly through the cosmos
Hand in hand
The song ends
The strong ending chord of the piano
Fades slowly into silence
As the brilliant colors
Of nebulas and galaxies
Fade into tiny faerie lights
That once again
Dance Playfully
Across the back of your eyelids
You heave a sigh of contentment
And nestle deeper into the cushions
It is comforting to know
That somewhere out there
Love exists
