Silky skeins of amber light weaving a web of light and shadows across her bed, across her back, as she lay asleep, lost.
His warm fingers itching to get lost in that web of light, fingers warmer than sun kissed sand when he noticed her feet peeking out from beneath the sheets.
Feet, whose soles were pale and toes, which were struggling with the sheet, searching for warmth...searching for his hands.
His hands took and then rubbed first one foot and then the other. Rubbed them to warmth, rubbed them to rosy reds.
As she lay there being rubbed and warmed, she thought to herself, this is what love is all about, someone to rub your feet when they are cold. While he felt his heart swell, thinking…this must be love, when your hands alone are more precious and sought than the sun itself.
She is the country he is meant to shine upon, as he is the sun she is lost without.
Too simplistic? Perhaps…but what more is there to it?

this is so sensual. reminds me of heady weekends and the familiarity of a lover's skin.
I love to see peoples view of love from different places and to see that we all have a passion for real love. Look forward to reading more from you. take care.
things are best if left simple... its juts we tend to complicate it with too many things...
Too simplistic? Not at all. Incredibly beautiful and touching. There is too few writings I've read about this side of love. You have captured it so well!
Not simple an economy of words felt deeply and meaning more
this is so pretty. this is what i want. this is sensual!
amazing gulnaz :)
"She is the country he is meant to shine upon, as he is the sun she is lost without."
if we can all find a love like this, wow :)
simple?
no way.
direct and sweet and romantic. my gorgeous wife has another method though. one which works equally well although without any romance. she shoves her plates on to my bum!
maybe you van have a word with her?
Incredibly romantic Gulnaz - totally appealed to me!
Un-Commentable
There is not more ! :)
Maybe the style and the words are simple, but it's meaningful, and full of strong passion and love!
Beautiful.
Simple acts of love and care speak powerfully.
Love at its most basic is simply wonderful.
This one touched me the most "She is the country he is meant to shine upon, as he is the sun she is lost without." wanted to say somuch but i am short of words,just that u r an amazing writer gul.
Sigh!

Simple? Not at all. It's beautiful and love seems so endearing and sensual...
Simple yet elegant... In simple words u say so much.. Really nice...
This was the best "She is the country he is meant to shine upon, as he is the sun she is lost without.".. just loved it
Excellent. Goes to prove there is something warmer than the Sun,that which only a parent can give to a child, that which only a lover can give to another.Thats what love is. The warmest emotion known to man since Adam and Eve. Good One ! :)

whao ! .. u call this simple :) .. this is just wonderful .. truely peotic way of describing what love is :) .. wonderful :)
Simple on the surface but there is much more going on. Like the way you have described one element at a time in this one.
Nice poetry and imagery. I think you should publish something sometime.
About the subject and the imagery, I have a different view. And frankly, I dont want to take the thunder away from such beatifully crafter poetry and beautifully painted image.
do visit my blog to read take on "love".
vasu
There is nothing more, Gulnaz. All that you fit into your life here on Earth is the space filled with people and things yuo choose around you.
that is just beautiful! it is so true....the one who lives to love the other and serves them to their own delight.....it's the little things after all that are most important. just lovely.
the imagery is lovely, your writing flows from your heart.
Awww... so lovey dovey. I was just thinking what happens after the footrub... hmm..
Woop! My perverted brain!
Ps: nice one. mushy.
Each time i come to your blog,i enjoy reading your posts more than ever..This one is so simple,sensual and i can feel undercurrents..hope you continue this piece some day:)
"While he felt his heart swell, thinking…this must be love, when your hands alone are more precious and sought than the sun itself......" Simply love..pure and simple!
Wowie.. Thats absolutely lovely.. Simplistic yet so beautiful, i would say. Great work, Gulnaz
"She is the country he is meant to shine upon, as he is the sun she is lost without."
This is without a doubt the best line and one that I can relate to 110%.
Love SHOULD be simple but more often than not we complicate it.
"She is the country he is meant to shine upon, as he is the sun she is lost without."
Gulnaz, you write beautifully! This was terribly romantic :)
Who volunteers to rub my feet?
I'll tell u what ... the last time when a part of the my feet was outside and someone of the opposite sex rubbed my feet like that ... ummm, well ... I had felt quite ticklish :p (A)
Gulnaz please may I link to your blog and if that is ok can you tell me your URL
That is beautiful, and heart-warming. Simplistic? Perhaps. But also true.
Love itself is all so complex, and yet so simple. And that's the beauty of it, na ?
equiv to speechless... :) a whole new post is due now :)
Surinder, thanks, glad to see garfield here, hope he stops again here. :)
M, lol, was i doing that.

Ash, absolutely! :) thanks for visiting. :)
Hirdu, ok now i get it! ;)
Platonic! How gracefully you have put knit this piece. Great lady!
My congratulations!
A dream, thank you for your kind words! :)
Nothing is ever too simplistic. That is what I love the most about this piece. The most erotic, passionate, romantic, is also the simplist. Wonderful.
You describe the setting in the first paragraph very well. It sets the mood.
good writing *is* simple... the ability to make someone understand and feel simply... we do not need flowery overburdened words...
this was simply damned good writing. brava!
and *sigh*... (my feet miss the person who is meant to be rubbing them)
stan, thanks for that! :)
small squirrel, :):) thanks, i miss that 'footrubber; too.
finnegan, foot massages can be quite sensual. sensuality apart, they are very relaxing too. i remember seeing a news snippet once, about how they are offered by the roadside in china or hong kong. In india, one comes across shoe shine boys, barbers, people shaving men and guys taking passport size pix by the roadside but not foot rubbers and actually the photographers too are a rarity now. they offer their services dirt cheap, i guess.
thanks, am glad you liked the piece. :)
stumbled upon this.. beautiful piece of art.. simplistic? no ways!!..
While he felt his heart swell, thinking…this must be love, when your hands alone are more precious and sought than the sun itself..
beautiful.. overwhelming.. speechless?!?.. YES!..
will drink more from your wonderful fountain.. :)
the last line says it all
