Rising Dawn: Chemistry with AKG

Rising Dawn: Chemistry with VKG

I had been hanging out with AM, when all of a sudden, I had a peculiar whiff of spiced cinnamon and grandmother's hearth. Turns out VKG was actually AM's room-mate. Interesting thing to be noted here, I never had any attraction towards VKG, before today. And I am really happy that I did.

VKG and me had interacted on quite a few occasions, however it was rare to find us actually indulging in conversations. VKG would seldom reach the zenith of his artistic innovation whilst he had poison to take his edge of. It is what I liked the most about him. His control and his kindness.

It only takes a small switch for people like him to flip and I was amazed at how very different this man would be each time I saw him. Throughout the first six months, we were occasionally lost in the swarm of the known men who should remain nameless. It was only on a few occasions at the end that I had been able to witness moments of vulnerability from him. It was as if looking through a person in a room so dark, even kerosene is worthless. But something about him just baring it all, made me want for more and more of him.

On a random day, all of us had to go back to the graves we came from. Not a few days ago, something monumental happened in my itsy-bitsy existence.

It was usual for us to talk once in a while. The day couldn't have gone any different. We had been discussing topics of importance yet casual. It was only around 12 that our eyes must have looked at each other before shying away to look inside us. A little while later, I felt a tingling on my arm, which had been smothering the chest of this fine man.

Now I am not the one to brag, but this man had style. There was nothing wrong with this man in my eyes and that could be one of the reasons why I was extremely apprehensive to partake in the opportunity to bag such a treaty. I knew then and there; it was the way to go.

Seconds had passed by and our faces started to grow closer. Despite the curtain veiling the moonlight, I could have seen this man's face and pour my whole self into his little private space. It was a matter of time, when we would kiss. The passion in that one kiss to this day, give me an uncontrolla ble round of shudder. It was unparallel and valuable.

Soon after the periphery had been taken care of, my arms moved further in his directions and tightly held onto his arm, which I wasn't ready to hold back yet. Our tongues met for the first time as if creating a work of art. Two authors and a single creation alike the yin, yang, forming the full circle. I felt full . I felt satisfied. I felt visible. And then I vanished.

Human warmth was not unknown to my varnished skin, but with him, my body had been engulfed in the hot embers of the cedarwood ash. Running my hands towards his skin, the wax figurine melted and revealed the true intensity with which I was willing to take this man. And THAT, I DID.

The day came when we had to say our goodbyes and I felt numb inside. This was never expected. Something inevitable rarely occurs in a common man's life, yet it was finally our time. That could've been the last time I could've seen him. For a long time it was.

I had recently moved out and kept in contact with VKG. When things got hard, he would've been one to whom I would spare the details. During the very quiet days and on the loudest days, I would miss him. Small reflexes would affirm that these fingers had once surfed in the delicious cocoa batter. Minute details of the mundane life made me revisit at the collection that was already building up.

Nearly 8 months had passed by and the distance between us was coming to an end by every tick of the clock. I had finally made up my mind to board the cargo to revive the ashes into a full blown fire, that I knew off in its mighty pride.

It had been a fun time hanging around and we had ridiculed each other far too many times to be counted now. It was only in the fourth week that I got to see an extremely new avatar from him. He was dressed well for the geography. Looked decent, smiled decent, and then I froze. Continued to freeze and did not unfreeze till a few weeks later, when I received an affirmation from him to come sit with him for a night and follow up with the remainder later.

The opportunity was a dues ex machina; a sponsor presenting Katniss. My happiness knew of no bounds and I quickly jumped into the pool of water which had been forming up with every tear I shed for the closeness. The day was here and it did not take it to come to an end. I was finally with him.

The night went on by smoothly and I went in for it. It was my last chance to bare myself naked and let him measure me on the feather of Anubis. The feather seemed to be heavier as my truth floated into his and a magical energy took over despite us looking at any direction but each other. I did get to know his truth, but only because I let the walls crash down till nothing remained in the distance. Just obscure thirst and an impending flood, which had to be the worst combination of all times.

As he looked up at me. I wrapped myself on him. Just for the sake of old times and great harmony. I was protected within the sphere of the ambushing paparazzi. This further went on to be what we call now Ancient History. Everything happened the exact same way that one can imagine. And I had fulfilled my purpose, for I could see that nothing remained of the sky. It was the color of soot. The forests have been burning bright and the core of the Earth was in grave danger just like my brittle soul.

That was the moment I had fully acknowledged that VKG was someone who I would crave for periodically. And only a little had changed since then.
