if not for you
if not for your arms that’s holding me tightly
i would have now fallen apart
if not for your kisses
my tears would now be flooding my heart
if not for your presence
i would be miserably alone
if not for your light and inspiration
i would now be lost
if not for your love
i would no longer try to move on.

i close my eyes
to shut out the world
instantly i feel a surge of warmth
as i feel your hand touching mine.
your sweet breath on my nape
your soft skin rubbing my face
your presence so overpowering
you are my pillar of strength.
not speaking
not even looking
just here beside me
giving, taking, loving.
you’ve won
my heart is yours and yours alone
even when we part
you are with me, around me, in me.
the world may perish
but you and i will remain
our love will outlast the brightest of stars
when all have gone, still we stand.
for we are beyond space
we are beyond time
no formula to calculate and measure
for what we feel is immeasurable.
we are ageless
we are eternal
no one is quite like us
our love is immortal.

I’m currently reading The Witch of Portobello by Paolo Coelho. So far so good. It’s prooving itself to be another excellent read. I’ve always regarded the author with high respect and admiration. His insights are so full of wisdom. A few pages is enough to fill your head with good sense.
The book is a compilation of interviews among the people who know the main character. Their inputs put together creates an avenue where the reader is thrown into a quest to know Athena. It is interesting how each person has a different view about her. Each has their own perception of her as a person and how they speculate she must be feeling or thinking at some point. Naturally some views conflict with the others, and that is how the reader is kept enthralled and becomes nose deep into every page.
As expected here and there are insights which I, at some point of my own life, have come to realize. This is the beauty of Paolo’s work. You see, his insights are firmly grounded on real human experiences that you will find yourself nodding in agreement to whatever he has written. Lessons so seemingly simple when read, yet so difficult to realize while on the verge of whatever experience we may find ourselves deeply involved in.
I think I understand where this book is taking me. I’ve had a glimpse of it in my reality. But I have an inkling that Athena’s story would be so much different from mine. So I must read on.
