A love for the ages.

By Rudi Massyn

Dante’ emerges from the shadows under the tree. His fragile arms of ash consume the gentle breeze. Dead silence accompanies his approach. Footsteps, a faint whisper. Her light breathes in his presence. Angelica seeps closer as daylight makes its presence felt, sound and colour return to Dante’s world. The light is at bay. He sees the beauty from where it stands. She ushers a word in his direction. A leaf passes by his smile. He is falling… Slow, slow she makes her hand available. Dante’ breaks the womb of silence with his weeping. Has he finally found the love he has been longing for? Have the centuries that have passed only smiled upon his fate now? Their embrace is pure and unsettling. His cold hands abort her warm pulse. Again she reaches for him. His head drops in shame. With a breath of life and love she brings him to his feet. Another leaf falls. The tree is dying. Its roots are thirsty. Dante’ is loosing life. Without hesitation she puts her tender lips against his chapped ash. The fire they create burns warmth into Dante’s cold veins. His heart pumps with new vigour. Another leaf falls. The sun draws near…now, a final tear…their lips depart. Her heart still weeping as Dante’ leaves this world with a heart no longer beating…
