Tablua Rasa

When in love, you must not doubt you're
ability to love that one special person.

The dead night rang with the promise of new beginnings,
as she waited at the water's edge. The wind blew fiercely,
whipping hair and cloth alike as her breath fogged

with each puff. She had been asked to meet a certain
young fellow at the docks, the clashing of metal on
steel as a slow bell toiled on the banks, the waves

crashing over jagged rocks as seagulls overhead barked out
desperate calls of hunger. She heard he was like a snake;
sly and ever so curious, his bite seeping poison into the

blood, enticing her with ever so sweet ideals of passion and
lust. She wanted to taste it more than before, her
hunger encasing her. And as the final bell toiled the last

chime, he appeared; melting out of the shadows to greet
her. The slits of the moonlight cast out an eerie glow, illuminating
his distinguished figure as one by one the stars winked out of existence.

To create the perfect relationship one must follow:
love, passion and understanding.
