Living alone, high up in the mountainous ranges, isolated from human things Male, young, strong, innocent of human lustful experiences. Growing daily, eating the flesh of the earth, the wild fruits, nature’s food. Feeling as though something within him is missing, some experience not felt. Lying in a fur covered bed, restless, tossing, awakening, wondering. Standing at an open window, gazing across the depths of a darkened valley. A light, shimmering in the distance, just above the fog covering the land below. There, unseen by the man, a woman, startling beauty, flowing flaxen hair, eyes of blue, high flushed cheeks, an earthen goddess. Awake, standing at a window, looking to a distant mountain, aching. Both unblemished virgins, never having experienced even adolescent love. Living an existence far from humanity, far from the perils of sin. Experiencing the hormonal changes of young adults, wondering why. He stands motionless for some time. Sensing that someone awaits him. Someone calls his name within his mind as he puzzles over his feelings. Both tire, return to a restless sleep. Eventual reality returns to a dream. Coming up from a meadow, climbing through the still trees, stepping lightly over logs, powerful arms, lightly dressed, maleness hidden from view. Hazel eyes, strong chin, high cheekbones, striding effortlessly. A glimpse, a fleeting look at a white robed figure running effortlessly A giggle, a taunting sound stirring him to move faster. Knowing that he must catch this angelic vision he detects. Flowing smoothly over rock strewn ground, gaining quickly. Chemistry of love flowing inside spurring him on, sensing a need to touch, hold, caress. She notices this handsome pursuer, excitement showing in her eyes, feeling the same feelings deep inside herself, flowing into her in ways never before felt. Excited, anxious, slightly scared, she runs on, leading them to a place, a very special place. One she has visited many times before as she grew. Arriving, breathing hard, not understanding her emotions, her reasons. He is near, she knows this, her senses tell her. She waits..... A touch, a barely discernable touch running down her back, through her hair. So quietly has he been. Standing behind, caressing her silken hair. She turns as his fingers trace across her cheeks, her lips. They stand still, touching each other lightly, experimenting. Exploring. For they have never seen another of the opposite sex since they were young. Emotions flowing heatedly inside, touching for what seems like an eternity. A sudden thunderclap, a flash of lightning covers the mountain, the valley, the ridges far away. Both awaken suddenly, startled, aroused within Returning to windows, gazing across, sensing something has been shared. A tear of love falls from two distant wondering eyes.... |
