Agony and Ecstasy

Cascading waves wash ashore tickling our toes as they ebb and flow; and moonbeams set a thousand jewels sparkling on the shoal. Smiles summon sweet emotions as we stroll upon the beach hand in hand, under a starry sky, pausing to build castles in the sand. And in this state of blissfulness, two halves of one soul unite, for all eternity. Our hopes, our dreams, and our tears we willingly share; trust opens our hearts to the intimacy of love. And yet, love offers so much more, facilitating fantasies and fulfilling dreams. Agony and ecstasy meld within each passionate kiss. My heart feels as though consumed by fire, having never felt a love; as intense as this.
