Two Hearts Speak
Between the rugged mountains and where
the ocean waves meet land, on the horizon that bids the sun farewell our tale begins....
the Night Goddess is seen walking a path lighted by the glow of the moonlight when a Noble
spies this beauty of the evening. Scene One Noble: Out of the darkness of the night comes a beauty that sunlight cannot speak of.... something can only be revealed in a time appropriate to the season. Goddess: She walks in the glow of moonlight and Orion stands before her heralding her approach.resence Noble: Even the clouds give way to her presence............ dropping their moisture before her as if a wedding march has begun. Slowly with the grace of a dancer she moves forward and pauses to reflect on the stranger in her presence, smiling, the moon lighting the silver of her tresses. Goddess: She asks who might this person be? In silence he drifts towards her voice.......... his feet carried by the burning, restless spirit that drives him relentlessly to a hope that only he can up till now only dream wistful thoughts. She extends a hand from her cloak as she stops. Taking in the details of this stranger. Goddess: Good evening, what brings you here to me? Noble: I felt your presence without your making a sound............the heavens opened but for a brief second........... the stars danced in the sky........ a white owl approached...beckoning me to follow............ I am honored and humble myself in your beauty. Goddess: You seem well guided by the owl and it pleases me that you have made your presence known. Would you care to join me for a stroll in the light of the moon and tell me about yourself or are you on an urgent quest? Noble: My life so far has been filled with urgent quests....... I long for the comfort of rest for my spirit and soul...........but I might lay at your feet and fill my nostrils with the scent of your presence.........but let me lay my head on your bosom and let me rest. Goddess: In truth I know this road you have walked. I found it cold and lacking in fulfilling my needs. Take my hand walk with me to the hill above the meadow. Sit beside me and you see the darken shape of the forests to each side but in the meadow look at the doe and stag in the light of the moon, observe how they care for each other, time is not a factor in their lives, the things that are of importance are within their grasp. Noble: I have walked on the waters by the shimmering falls.....have glanced at the presence of life in the deep......... so cold and yet, alive ............ they know their own, and live without need........... oh how it soothes my soul to know that such an existence could be mine ................for if they can live and be one, then I know my destiny has yet to be fulfilled. Goddess: One does not make quests without experiencing both loss and gain, happiness and sorrow, but your spirit speaks to me of a desire for more. Rest your head upon my lap and gaze at the stars, feel the tension of the journey ease in the warmth of this moment, talk to me of the desires that you are in search of. Noble: Words can hardly express the needs and desires that seem to haunt my heart and soul....the journey has been long...........oh but the enemies that have been lain before my feet............victories of the flesh have been ever present before my eyes and sword..........swift is justice without mercy.............but still............ the void is great. My sword is swift and the blood runs hot............ the ground is covered with the fear of my enemies...........but is victory without a soul to share it with? or a warm tear to welcome me home ........ to take my sword from me and warm my heart? Goddess: To every warrior the wounds mount in the number of old injuries as do the conquests and so it is with memories. You have reflected on this as your soul is not content and you are tired now wanting the quest to reach its end where the efforts of your troubles will be rewarded. The ache of loneliness is a cruel reward for the time spent on the journey, I hear your soul speak and my heart is not deaf to your need or desire She slowly caresses his hair as she listens as he eases his mind. Noble: My weariness shows like dried leaves on autumn trees........they near their end............ their usefulness is theirs alone.........but for the glancing eye that knows the captured beauty of the moment.........but a fleeting moment it is at best........... soon replaced by scenes of another season...........bare, desolate, cold to the touch............. where does one's hopes lie? Goddess: Would that these emotions were foreign ... but alas you speak and I see clearly for I know the time you speak... once the willow that bent in the wind, seasoned and aging now with the storms of life and yet inside the sap flows freely. Noble: As once I thought my life empty and useless......I now find renewed strength to go on in your words and in your eyes., I marvel at the soft beauty that has so captured my heart., a tenderness that has tamed my thoughts........... so long I have waited to give myself to thee............. now make me complete........ brighten my heart and lift up my soul.....I will ever hold you close to me.... and never will part. Fate has not abandoned me.......... but through time has tested me like metal..........shaping me to be the other half of your heart and soul.................I bow to the wisdom of ages that brought me to you......... only in their time could this be. Goddess: The owl was wise to join us thus for your words touch strings of the harp of my soul and I feel the melody is shared so beautifully. I look at you with a clarity and marvel at how our souls converse with such harmony. Noble: It is a chorus.....that is heard through our souls. Let everyone hear of it......and rejoice...............let the heavens pay homage........ and let new buds come forth............. the former has passed away. Goddess: Give me your hand, let it trace my face, hold it to my head and learn of the words not yet spoken. I need hardly speak as the words seem to come forth from your lips. Indeed the nightingale is sweetly singing, the stars appear to brighten ever so much in approval. There is truth in the poet that is in your soul, and the comic is often the clown of tears. The noble rested in the warmth of the soft body letting his weary soul and body find comfort and the Goddess and Noble watched the beauty of the night until the sun began to lighten the skies and with a gentle caress the Goddess departed to disappear into the darken forests.
Scene Two The Goddess returns the following day to walk the same moon lit path and she searches the dark for a chance meeting with the Noble. Goddess: Noble join me if you desire the Goddess as your companion tonight. Noble: The night is calling. I can hear her voice.....she is near.......... her presence surrounds me like a mother's arms surround her child........my senses are alive. With the sun asleep and the stars her guide she walks silently, and pauses as she hears a voice familiar to her. Goddess: Venture forth if you care to join me. Noble: Let the night time come........let the things of the day disappear and let those things which honor the night return to immerse our minds and tantalize our senses.............though some be wary...........let not those lead the way but let those that welcome the night and embrace it carry us on their shoulders........ so that we might not be alone. Goddess: Come embrace the evening before the moon is too high in the heavens and your eyes close in rest. Noble: The warmth and call of the night is intoxicating to the senses.............. I feel my strength leaving me as I give in to the sweet, sensuous embrace. Goddess: Let the warmth of my body mold gently against yours as I place a tender kiss upon your lips. Greetings my noble companion of the dark, shall we walk to the clearing where the moon shines so brightly, and the water babbles in the stream. Noble: Yes.............. let the bright light of the moon dance off your body............ playing tricks on my mind........... enticing me to follow and play in the night. Goddess: Take my cloak and spread it on the blades of grass that we may lay upon the velvet and enjoy the pleasures of the evening. Noble: The shooting stars and galaxies of the heavens shall entertain us as we lay together embraced. Goddess: I command the stars to enhance us with a light that shimmers like a million diamonds. Let me take your hand and place it to my lips. Feel the contours of this face, the light reflect on the silver of my hair, take in the deep blue eyes of the goddess that have a voice of their own, willing you to explore the unknown. Noble: I find myself under your spell...........your eyes penetrate to my soul............ your body intoxicates my mind............ I am no longer my own............ you have me tied and bound to your beauty........... I am a slave of desire. Goddess: Kiss me deeply let me feel your body crush me into yours, my breasts pressed against your chest. Feel my fingers on your neck and in your hair, as my lips part and we explore a caress that ignites the souls. Noble: Your lips excite the passion in me............. my body trembles ......... my mind whirls.............. your warm breath against my face binds me to you............. I know no longer which body belongs to whom, we are one in the heavens............. a new birth. Goddess: Feel my hands as they move over your chest parting your shirt so they can explore the strength of your torso, softly moving over the skin and I take a nipple in my fingers stroke it very softly as it hardens, bend forward and let my lips kiss your erect nipple as my fingers wander down your warm body. Noble: I can only lay motionless as your hands and lips caress my body......... I feel helpless unable to move........... and yet exhilarated, excited at your touch............ the softness of your warm lips moves over me.......... causing my breathing to quicken and leave me breathless. Goddess: Moving my lips down your chest as I free your clothing from your body, taking liberty to explore with soft caresses as the light glows on your skin. Noble: Your hair falls to my face and across my chest. Teasing me ........ the shape of your breasts in the moonlight mesmerizes me........... seeing them sway with your movement............. so soft. Goddess: For now my noble friend lay back and feel the joys that can reverberate from within the depths of your desires. Standing in the moonlight looking down on your naked body, I slowly unclasp the pin on my shoulder and the satin of my gown slides down my body to rest at my feet. Stepping from it I kneel by your body, holding your hands together above your head as I lean forward to kiss you deeply tasting of your lips. Exploring the warmth of your mouth, feel my full breasts my nipples hard against your chest as we kiss deeply. Noble: I will give my attention to your giving spirit.........inhaling all you have to give.............. and it will be soon for my soul is moved......... and you have touched my heart.............. the sweetness of your full body has stirred my soul.......... your every movement brings waves of joy to my senses........... the delights of the eyes and mind, and body............ are all yours........... but the battle continues that forces me to honor my duty. I must leave you for now......... knowing you will be in my thoughts and dreams......... never leaving...... always present........ a kiss to you till next time........may the fates be kind to bring us back to each other again. Goddess: Tread softly on heaven's embroidered cloths, inwrought with gold and silver light, the blue, the dim and the dark cloths of night, light and half-light. I spread these cloths for you to sit upon, spread your dreams at my feet one day perhaps your dreams will be realized. When the battle has been won return for the rewards now forsaken. Noble: My mind is with you but the demands upon me at this time are great....... divided as my heart is I must obey my duties and force myself from your presence before I can do nothing.......... a sweet kiss and I will search the night again............ waiting for my sweet Goddess to embrace me................ till then. Our time shall come when the hour is ours............ farewell my Goddess.............. let the night cloak your beauty till we meet again. Goddess: Till we meet again I leave you with a whisper of perfume that lingers after we part our ways, to remind you that the evening will welcome you as the day draws to an end and the sun takes its rest in the warmth of the horizon. Scene Three The war had been waged with battles won and lost when the Goddess one evening saw the outline of a figure of a man and approached silently. Seeing it to be the Noble she paused a short distance away. Goddess: Oh night winds ask the Noble why he sits in the cold of night. Noble: I sit and watch the canopy of snow that has blanketed the landscape...........so soft and inviting. In the high mountains above the masses of people............ the trees give way to the wind and the snow keeps us at bay. The mountains call your name............... the solitude and elements beckon your appearance. Goddess: The grace of all that is perfect, all that once was, barely tarnished by the touch of man is at my fingertips, gloriously high and free, the air so crisp to breath to deep of it can singe your lungs. Noble: The crisp cold air vitalizes my body........... my mind thinks of places not seen by human eyes............ the snow hinders my travel as I search for your voice........... call to me............... you are near. Goddess: I traverse to you on the winds from the north as you call out to me I am there. Noble: The cold gives way to your warmth and presence............ my heart beats faster within my chest.............. I wait for your touch............ your caress.......... it melts the snow from my garments. Extending her hand and placing it in his she smiles as the noble graces it with his welcoming kiss. Noble: The smile you reward me with sends a tremor through to my soul with excitement. The Goddess softly kisses the Noble. Noble: I am breathless as your lips touch mine........... your warm breath on my face is warmth enough for a lifetime........... never leave my side........... let your warmth envelope me wherever I travel. Goddess : You so have intrigued the lady of the night with your warmth that I move closer to feel your embrace. Hold me close to you and I will not think of leaving and will bide by you in your travels. Noble: I will bring your enemies down by the sword and will ravish you until your are drained of all energy................... our senses will explode in a fury of passion......... we shall be as one wherever the night shall take us............ to new lands........ to the heavens themselves. Goddess: It has been long since the lady felt the protection of a noble such as you. The passion that you speak would be well matched, for in truth it has been a lonely quest that has resulted in our meeting. But more than the passion of the moment there is a connection to the Noble that is hard to determine just that I know it exists. Noble: We know not what lies ahead....... but the uniting of our hearts has now made our journey no longer a lonely one......... we go together ..... willingly.... meeting each new day and night without despair..... let all those that see us behold our union........and our joy. Goddess: We walk alone yet not all alone, the chance encounters brighten the spirit, warm the heart and give new purpose to the journey. We share an understanding of the story of life as told to us by the same lords of time, it brings to us an understanding and a simple joy in the sharing of each other. Noble: With each step we take our future is opened.........slowly at first....like new born babes taking their first steps........... and with time we walk bolder opening the door wider.......... the brightness shall not hinder us........... for we are the story and future as we go forth................ let it be told on the mountain tops. My blood is rushing through my veins............. my eyes are alert...ready to perceive and conquer any and all that might stand in my path. Let your inhibitions go and let me ravish you completely........... all the senses are alive.............. touch, smell, sight, and the mind is whirling in delight. Goddess: Oh how your words distract and make one want to feel the passions grow and be excited to such depths, speak to me more of your ambitious desires. Noble: Let your eyes convey your thoughts......... look at me as though you want me more than anything else..let your body dance in front of me and shower my senses with visual delights................ fill my mind with thoughts that I dare not tell anyone. Goddess: None look into the eyes of this lady and do not feel the growth of desire stir within their loins when the goddess so commands. The dance she dances starts slow seductively, making the noble follow and be drawn into the spell of the magic. Moving her hands and body in tune with the symphony of life's song she compels his attention to every detail. He follows the moves and the curves of her body responding with a soul for the song. Noble: I can only gaze at the beauty and sensuousness as every curve dances before my eyes............ my mind swims with thoughts and desires............ my eyes have a mind of their own as they follow your ample breasts swaying and protruding . Beckoning for a light touch of the hand or lips............... passion stirs within me........... my body responds to my eyes. Smiling the goddess continues to dance and tempt. Moving closer barely letting a whisper of a touch grace his face as she leans forward for a moment only. His hand extends but only the thin veil of her gown slides through his fingers.. the movements grow more erotic and enticing as the tempo increases. Taking no more he rises and holds her to him..........her back to his chest, his arms tight around her waist. Noble: My groin presses against you.........your sweet aroma against my face as I shower your bare neck and shoulders with kisses............... I feel your body respond, arching and stiffening with each kiss. Goddess: I respond as you take me, holding me close so that each breath inhaled is felt, molded to you with each curve to thus belong... a union in the making and the passion soars even higher. It is a strong solitary soul whose breasts lay within your hands, feel the beating of the heart within excited by the closeness of you. Noble: Your warm breath makes me alive as it fills my face.......... my hands wander over your smooth body............ so soft and warm........ your eyes staring into my soul asking me to touch you everywhere. Goddess: I lead your hands guiding and moving them over the curves of my body, feeling it respond most ardently, melting into your caress as our temperatures rise ever higher. Noble: As you arch your back my hands slide up and over your protruding breasts..........such softness................ so smooth............... my hands are full of your ample bosom..................... your lips caressing my face............ your hands behind my head pulling me closer to you. Goddess: Feel me exhale to the fullest pressing my breasts ever further into your grasp, my heart races now and longs for your exploring to continue as I kiss your face so fully. Noble: Your nipples hard and erect, tell me your passion is mounting........... your breathing turns faster........... our lips meet as I wander my fingers over your breasts.......teasing and enjoying what you have offered me. Your lips on mine...........so warm and giving........... your eyes tell me everything as I lay you down....watching you stretch your body out before me............... such a visual sensation................ so much to take in. I can only stare and slowly take it all in. Goddess: Take me into your arms and carry me to the pleasures of your body. Noble: My lips and tongue find their way to yours.....kissing long and passionately.......... your arms around me moving and touching my body............my lips working their way down your soft neck......... slowly caressing........... such a delight. I must take my time and ravish every part of you. Goddess: A soft moan escapes my lips, oh wild passion to prevail, take every ounce of flesh and teach it of your love delights, awake the shivering mounds of flesh that make my breasts and seek the moments of true romance. Noble: My lips touch your nipples as you arch and ask to be touched........... they are hard and inviting as my tongue runs circles around them............. kissing and lightly sucking on them............ my hardness grows in response................... your arms tightening around me............ such warmth............such passion. Goddess: She whispers these words in your eager ear wild nights, wild nights, I will spend with thee, wild nights will be our luxury. Futile the winds to a heart in port. Done with the compass, done with the chart. Rowing in Eden, a bliss in the sea that I might moor this night with thee. The night owl hooted just as dawn was about to break and the lovers parted the union with a kiss farewell. Goddess: Feel the kiss I place on your lips as you leave, a moment captured until we meet again in our memories to sweeten our parting. Noble: The warm mark on my cheek shall prevail till we meet again. Let it be told on the mountain tops.................I have to leave for foreign lands but will be searching for you when I return........... till then may your presence grace all those who cross your path. The sun breaks the horizon and day begins. The Goddess is no more for now, the Noble wanders on alone but with a renewed spirit in his soul. Noble: The moon is hidden by the shadows of the clouds that pass by leaving a white canopy to gaze and wonder at.......... but even so the heart is warm at the thought of a goddess being near...ever near .... as close as my thoughts of her .. as close as my outstretched hand.....it gladdens my heart she is ever present. The sun's ray part the clouds and making the canopy of snow to sparkle as the Noble makes a single set of footprints in the fresh snow. Cheryl C. Helynck 2000
