For Nerdanel from Feanor 7 May-09

They looked at each other, and saw heaven in the depths of each other’s lightened eyes
they stared at each other for a moment, sighed feeling a pressing in their hearts, and then closed their eyes
their eyes were drowning in a bitter sweet confusion, afraid to open again.
They were beautiful,
too beautiful,
but incomplete
...
they had velvet dreams living in the limbo of fear and desire
they looked at each other, and feared the worse....
that they would tumble on madness, ...
that they would fall hopelessly in love...
their hands touched, felt the warmth, the Elven scent of roses
skin on skin,
it was the beginning of something they could not understand
....
they knew that if they let their bodies feel one another,
they would never be strong enough to walk away.
They were living under the fake lights,...
for ages...!
performing and playing characters,
they almost forgot who they were
sometimes the people around them brought enough rejoicing...
sometimes it was just too cold on the set, and inside of them...
then their eyes met one another...
then their eyes met one another...
and danced a crying Elven tango....
even when the two elves did not understand their senses,
defying them, and winning...
The words their mouths wanted to say, were hurting....
suffocated and imprisoned,
like a cursed warrior after the war.
: ....
they looked at each other,...
then looked down...
they were beautiful....
too beautiful
: ....
their beauty was like a sharp knife cutting the veils in pieces,...
and revealing the sun...
the freezing cold would be finally over...
if they let the sun touch them whole
no masks
no fear
no shame
The people around them knew it all along....
it was meant to be pure and ravishing ...
it was meant to be the dawn of a new world...
if they let their eyes dive into one another....
a little bit closer....
and wipe the tears from their eyes with the flowing feathers....
and their crying love ...
forsake the siege within...
: ....
The words their mouths wanted to say....
were coming to life...
that night had to be the night of forgiveness....
for their useless hurt and wasted time....
that moment had to be the beginning of forever...
when they reached out their hands, ...
with no fear ...
the two hearts collided...
absolving the familiar matter....
forming a single one.
....
the restrained sighs would be replaced by moans of endless pleasure
the clear words their mouths wanted to say all along....
were now
released for the first time
"Gen melin! Gen melin!"
"I love you! I love you!"
....
Wiping away the tears from their faces,...
and breathing deeply...
: breathing each other....
no more hurt.
"Hush now don´t cry my angel!"
"Nelladell nîn."
: "Angel of mine."
....
whispers "for you , my beloved Nerdanel !"
