I've had this as a draft from last year and the time must be right to carry on and finish this piece and immortalise it.
I for one will not attempt to argue or dispute this point. This is dedicated to a special person whom I met a long time ago on the same path maybe through fate or circumstances but cannot deny the fact of divine intervention. The notion of love has been researched, pondered upon, studied to the extent that there are even devoted followers who have dedicated their life to its study, a whole lifes work. I will try and attempt to unravel a story which I thought would shed some light in the power of love.
Once a young girl met this young man both staggerring into this beatiful and yet tricky world of love and life. I'm saying staggering (I believe she wasn't) because the meeting place was at a water hole frequented by night revelers of that city with a specific kinda taste in music and drinks, the now music so to speak. So this meeting was something special for the young man as it would also change his life and also the destructive path that it was leading him to. The path to redemption might just have been shown to the boy that night. So here's how it all happened. He came into the bar with some old school mates, one of his old school boy was at the bar, they knew each other only by faces but the camaraderie is very much intact. Drinks were flowing and the young man mustered up enough courage to get up on the pole and started performing some circus tricks, I guess at the time he was fit and actively involved in contact sport (rugby league), judging from the acts, he had good upper body strength, who does a horizontal extention on a bar with his legs straight out, who wouldn't be impressed, the alcohol must be kicking in too.The impressing part was he never fell or disturbed the other guests who were standing close by while at it. But sure enough he had drawn some attention after quite a few numbers and amongst those impressed ladies was that medium sized, curly haired nicely layed out and eyes that was kinda mysterious but gives off that slight expression of friendliness that would let a young mans guard down. It was after a very nice and groovy song that he came down and the girl walked straight up to him and hugged him, speechless and a little bit exhausted from impresing the ladies which was not his intentions but just partying like he knows how, they stood there entangled in eternity as if they didn't care about the rest of the people there. They just stood there still hugging each other as if either one of them has just been reunited with a long lost cousin or something but sure enough it had purpose. Then the girl releases from the embrace and asks if she could just go to the wash room and be back. The young man waits and ponders at the circumstances that has led to the situation and what next after that. What could be more demanding then trying to measure up all the possibilities of having a relationship with this lovely girl. Then the young boy decided it would be wise to let the girl carry on with her life and left, I guess the girl would have been surprised when she came out of the rest room he was no where to be found for the young man had stepped out reluctantly but knew that at that stage he was in no condition to start a relationship, just couldn't drag her to the life that he was in at the moment. She'd sure be lost and lose her luster. In the days that followed she ignited a flame that would conquer the world with its power, its purity and its beauty, expressing her love in a way she felt the young man might pick up and try and usher him back to her. She worked for this TV company and had this gig going anchoring for this program on latest musics what would be termed nowadays as a videojockey. And on those programmes she would string out a combination of songs that would be the melodies of her expression and it resonated to the young man sitting at home watching TV in a way that it made his heart heavy and he felt it alright. The girl found a way to get through and in doing so she captivated others who caught on and it sought of became viral, anyone who caught on got captivated and it took the world unaware as if it had been sleeping and the people found their meaning and purpose. Time passed and they passed each other on the streets and glances exchanged, nobody made a move but the songs kept on playing and all of a sudden they knew that something extraordinary was happening just from the circumstances they were in. Even nature seemed to behave in a precarious way. And slowly as the saying goes "time heals a wounded heart" . The young girl moved on without knowing or had been soothed by friends with stories that would see her through that period got married to a good man and had kids. The young man turned himself around, changed his life some of it, but still enjoys his beer got married to a good woman had kids and they lived their lives to its fullest.
People say Love Conquers but have never felt its power or seen its potential, its like I'm lecturing here...it is a wonder to marvel at its force and power the way it ripples and shakes the thoughts and moves people to perform in astounding ways and its indirect effects leaves traces of its footprints along them.....I can only marvel at how much it can achieve, it is truly a gift from God wielded by his true servants for only they have witnessed, dared and felt its power and the places where it is kindled is like venturing into the devils lair and draggin' it out of him.
Hope you have managed.
