Altar's Reign (OS) : 60 Seconds Series

Altar's Reign

60 Seconds Series

"As I live and breathe", marvelled at the stunning sight of her descending the aisle. "Angel" he whispered in a soft melody that only winds could hear.

He spiralled down the memory yearning to truncate all those moments he detested for having to spend with her.

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." The quote that defined the moment, for he finally managed to decipher it.

As still as the water surface like that of a lake he stood, while his inside throbbed in sync with aqua life.

His sight tethered to her eyes that opened portals to depths of mysterious lands. And if you were a mere mortal you would know, that finding yourself is the hardest of all in the celestial maze those blackened silhouette eyes behold. The blink of an eye-that's how long it took for her to cast the spell of captivation.

Unaware was she of those mystic powers that had been the reason for a crushed million hearts. The protagonist of a classic fairytale he'd say, if didn't know any better that the end of the 60^th second this tale would be a nightmare.

The orchestra had cast the spell of love via melodies of the early nineties. Jesus had bestowed upon him words of wisdom that were chosen to be ignored when it was not too late. Now however when he wished upon his stars for those words that echoed in the silence to surface to enlighten him.

His eye lids decided to decent finally capturing the moments but in hesitation for he feared it will be a dream.

In the quarter of a second during the period of a single blink he lived a life of eternity. He fast forwarded their time together to that with their children and grandchildren, a life filled with smiles that billions couldn't buy.

Her eyes on the other hand sang to the tune of a melody which was never composed before in another land. It burnt like fire yet melted like ice any heart that it touched in its cerulean light.

As she neared the altar the rhythms of their hearts collided and superimposed upon one another to form the perfect sound wave, a mystery we mortals refer to as love. Towards the end of era, they were to proceed towards endless blues of seas.

Casting their shadows over one another like that of slight feathers touch. A moment of unsatisfied satisfaction they lived together as such.

He laid his hand for seeking permission to escort, leaning forward to align their eyes in order have a silent conversation. She faked a smile through the eyes that teared, shimmering like liquid crystal. Tears of happiness, is what he presumed, but the mercy of reality was too good to be true. For she was the bride and him the best man. Only shadows would allow their betrothal with grace. Like eternity it seemed the 60 sec that broke three dreams, under the altar's reign.
