You asked me once about my dreams and I told you I had none. I did not wish to share for in sharing they might evaporate. But you managed to weave into my heart . You sabotaged those dreams, the ones I did not know were there. Perhaps the ones I never acknowledged.
So I see you sit on that shore, Fabian. You sit and your eyes look beyond the blue line on the horizon. You don’t look for me anymore. You see only the line and it signifies a separation between water and sky. It is the way you perceive things, isn’t it?
But oh, Fabian, you do know that earth and horizon never meet; that horizon and water never touch although they may seem to. It is deception. It is an illusion darling. It is an infinite illusion. It is the way we are; we shall never be together even in the maddening way things might appear to you or to anyone else. It is the horizon; it is never ending. They never touch.
Perhaps I lied about those dreams. Perhaps I dreamt of meeting you, of riding on your back as you swim out to sea, of my head resting in your lap as you read to me line after line of emotions you spill forth onto paper that grows heavy with the weight of your transgressions.
Fabian of my dreams stay there on that contemplative shore. Stay there until you can no longer see the horizon, until night falls, and all boundaries are merged into one. Then perhaps we can close our eyes and find peace in dreamless slumber, no visions of great sea dragons or mesmerizing sirens to waylay us on our voyage.
Jewaira, your dream is poignant. Can two people ever be closer than when their minds merge into one — one thought, one goal, one feeling, one love. As he is in your mind, you are in his — daytime, nighttime, waking sleeping — always in his mind, merged into one.
===============================
An ideal communion of minds must be tested by the physicality of the actual relationship

Jewaira,
There are no shells in your shore
I walked in your shore I am not finding any shell.:(
Your shore was warm feeling, peaceful and impressive.
You’re written a special piece of Imaginative.
I was interesting in reading.
Thanks Jewaira
=======================
Thank you Hatem for your kind words.
There are many shells on this shore but Fabian cannot see them.

That has got to be one of the best pieces you have written or maybe one of the most that I felt so close to. I love the tone and imagery. I loved how the concept of two spheres seemingly connected over the horizon and alluding metaphorically to so many things.
Thanks!!! That’s another favorite piece printed to keep my old favorite “cats and kittens” company on my bulletin board =D
=============================
Thank you Sushi . It always pleases me when someone else experiences my words in their own way.
Jewaira
Ah, the sweet, sweet ache of that which is only just barely out of reach.
That was very pretty, J.
*twinkly kisses*
=====================
twinkly kisses make things better for a while .
Mwah, as Kuwaitis say
