Eyes on Moon...

Image
The dial sprung to life and chimed lazily, 2AM. Brooding flimsy stratus clouds flew past the waxing gibbous moon... Unhurried pensive breeze tickled the sleepy trees on its way, As the demure moon played peek-a-boo behind the mischievous leaves. They sat  by the side of the road, Loaded trucks heaved, panted and wheezed past nearby; But a cloak of silence engulfed them warmly... “I hate being touched.” - she says tersely. “You have never been...” - he smiles. Cackle of laughter erupts somewhere from afar and fades... A lanky boy with a toothy grin, serves them hot tea... Mystifying fumes of the amber brown drink rise and waft around...

Sprawled on the bed lazily, he sifted through his memories and babbled on. She noticed the slight quiver in his excited voice now and then. Eager subtle tremors ran down his fingers which lay cupped in her hands. His smooth skin shone in the incandescent light and his voice floated around the dimly lit room. She looked lovingly at him, as he tossed and belched out memories. "How simple was his life and its string of daily boulders. Tiny obstacles, unsettling moments and euphoric accomplishments; yet so extraordinarily ordinary. He seemed to have lived each moment and enjoyed his ride deeply along with the bumps." As she turned to look for her phone; her reflection caught her eye. She looked into her own eyes, her wounds stared back at her, restless to open up any moment. How dark an...
