Her gaze met mine and locked in an embrace that never ends. If only I had known her name and the trouble it portends... She was Luna Casanova (though that meant nothing at the time). Her long white gown and flowing hair made her quite the find. Oh, how that gaze had pierced me; she searched deep inside until she found each part of me that I had sought to hide. Then she pulled me into her with that hypnotizing stare, Little did I know then that she planned to keep me there. For when I left that night and walked briskly down the street, in every passerby I met, it was her eyes I would meet. Thus it began, her presence was everywhere it seemed. I saw her gaze through day and night, at work and in my dreams. Luna Casanova was becoming my whole world The image of her eyes stayed clear as my life faded and blurred. I could think of nothing else, it seemed Yet, I was overjoyed. My endless smile drew snide remark from all that it annoyed. I heard her voice when others said she was not around I laughed. "Look! There she is!" I cried, rejoicing in her sound. I quit my job and stayed at home for my fixation did offend. Phone calls went unanswered so entranced was I with my friend. Hour upon hour passed until weeks turned into daze. Still I saw her image, and her penetrating gaze. My world was changed eventually, I was locked up in a cell. For some unusual reason docs said I wasn't doing well. I think I can remember others sometimes coming by. I didn't care, it mattered naught for she stayed by my side. And so I sat bound by her spell in my flowing gown of white. My hair grew long until I was a male mirror of her sight. To this day I see her still and rejoice though I am scorned for an affliction beyond reason. I hope that you are warned. If you chance upon a lady and long white gown you see, Avoid her stare - lest you, too, fall victim to Luna C. |

And you've penned another delightful read. Thought maybe I better elaborate. Sad, but delightful. [This message has been edited by WhiteRose (08-04-2002 04:59 PM).] |
