LOVE LOST.....1st post. Would like some feedback.
It was a true Texas tornado for the kind of love this was. Whirlwinds stir up loose dust around the cattle pens....this hit like a tornado that rolled through a Texas plain. It's started like any other day and like any other story.....boy meets girl, boy chases girl....girl falls in love......everything was just right.....so the wind began to swirl around them. Just like the beauty of a sky morphs through its colors, it's tempatures and it's pressure before the destruction begins so did their feelings. Curious, nervous, Giddy, in love. They stares into eachothers eyes as their plans unfold with eachother without words. The perfect little house on the farm, the perfect little dog on the porch and that white picked fence around the perfect yard. The pressure builds between them and the swirling starts. Both lost in love with eachother, totally aware of eachother but totally unaware of the danger they have stirred for themselves. Nights spent out, mornings spent in and kiss after kiss with eyes closed so tite they didn't see the debris starting to circulate. While other people ran for cover and yelled out warnings these two held onto eachother....maybe a little to tight. As love does like a tornado you never know when it will drop and start with the destruction. The nights out faded, and the bed never seemed emptier even as their bodies filled the once passionate space and the eyes became tired during their kiss as the funnel hits the ground. They are spun from eachother like the walls of the home they both used to dream about. The passion began to fade and the wind had slowed but like a tornado the damage had been done. The farm house layed in rubble like their time together. The perfect dog had hurried for safety and hidden like their emotions towards another and the white picked fence that captivated their love.....it was gone too. A total life lost on what seemed like minutes. As the debris settles and the tornado dissappears the find eachother scattered from eachother without well layed plans in rubble. The sky returns to blue, the air grows cooler now and the pressure is gone with the wind.....almost like it never happened. To look down was destruction, chaos and sadness but to look up was a temporary return to something they once had. A blue sky they fell in love under, a crisp fall day where he got her attention and the pressure that moved them swirling towards eachother was all there if only for a moment. Soon in time they both will realize the rebuilding starts now and if not a perfect life with eachother they hope for a perfect life for eachother.
