That’s when I realized I was not alone in the room.  I held the painting close to my racing heart, expecting to hear your voice. Turning around, I felt a cool breeze blow gently through the open door, and saw tiny dust swirls move swiftly across the bare floor.  The walls seemed to sigh, and change hues.  Salty bitter tears welled up in my eyes, as I realized it was just an errant breeze coupled with the sun’s movement behind the eucalyptus trees that had captured my senses. Resigned to truth’s harshness, I put the painting back down and ran out of the house, stumbling over the fallen hollyhocks and dying poppies as I ran through the open gate, and back to reality. You were gone, and would never return.

The days and nights bled together, and still I could not shake the memory, the feeling you had walked back through that door, if only in spirit. The presence of your spirit in the abandoned house called out to me, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I would once again slip through the portals of reality to be with you. Tomorrow, I promised.

OK, so who stars in this movie???
LOL, I rarely go to the theatre or rent movies. This one sounds like a love story theme.

Midnitesun,
    I read both parts of this story and it is really good. I could feel her tension when she found the painting and turned it over, feeling he was in the room with her. Enjoyed it much.

thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on these
yes, there is more, but it has yet to fall from my fingertips

soon, perhaps in a day or two, it will allow itself to fall

can a very late moth get in on this?
been trying to get to read these for weeks...
"life" has taken much of my poetry time away...but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the imagery and storytelling of these.

yes...this begs to be continued...

so??...did you ever see the movie?
You will love the colors and special effects of that one...like walking into a Vincent painting.

I can remember Forever December,
The center of dying ... the heart of the pain.
The stars surround me ... the cold astounds me.

Thought I would drop by and see what kind of stories I would find. I love to read and was captured in this lovely story. Hope to read more as the words that reach out and send your fingers to writing.
Love and hugs
Bon-Bon
