Story
A Captive of a Planet
“We danced together. Our steps staggered in the mystery of the puzzle that collected us by accident.
Who knows how fate will change at a moment and give us the lost life?!
Our happy moments ended quickly, but they made for us a great history that conquered the preceding sad 
events.
Then my lover whispered before her farewell:
“To live forever together in the midst of eternal true love, we have to depart”
Then she touched me and gave me a sweet warm kiss and left.
We parted and I did not know why, other than the ambition of both of us called to act like this.
Both of us went in different ways.
Thus I could split the sky in one jump and leave the entire ground floors behind me.
Then I ascended the summit of the thin sky Mount, there I found illustrious planet ,I considered him as a companion for me…painted for myself a branch of a small tree next to him, and settled in it watching his glow from the nearby..
The strength of the illustrious planet dazzled me, its highness and consistently brilliant light attracted my brain…I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined myself instead of him and have his sparkling shiny character exactly like him…
Suddenly, from afar I heard a voice call out…it cut my thoughts to continues but said wondering
“Did you find in the sky what you want?”
Though I could identify this calm voice and breathed her own especial good fragrance, I didn’t give any attention to her … she is my mistress, danced with me along a few minutes… But though that, I will not allow for anything to hinder my way.
So I took the decision to ignore her even inside myself… I did not reply to her.
And from her side, she withdrew silently but sent warm tear that kissed my eye.
After short time, I’ve forgotten who she is, what her voice is like, what are the features of her body and even her face… Then, I returned to the light and lived as a prisoner to it until it overwhelmed my eyes, until I became blind and broken.
From far distances I knew that you my sweetheart could run to a river and paint a large field full of flowers that lived you would spend your life in.
And invited every honest loving person to come and live with you above your land and river… gave them the best of what you have of gifts from your better bestowal, without any selfishness or coveting for yourself in more…
Days, months and years passed by you and me, till one strange day, a quirk of fate desired to shake the sky, and the illustrious big planet fell down while I was blind, not aware that I fell with it but I was lucky because I fell on your land and we met again…
One of your fellows approached me and said:
“We have a healing medicine for you. Take a handful from the land of the immortality river then irrigate your forehead with it, till you get rid of all your sinful memories and come back to us as a feast.”
I washed my face with the immortal water, my blindness was cured and my life returned to me with its beautiful face and warm smiles.
While my sweetheart approached to clear my chest and avoid the blaming and admonitions with her forgiveness, I realized the love and compassion in her treatment and swam asleep thrilled of lovers trance with her…
After days and months…
A flashing nostalgia invaded my heart for the days of the illustrious obnoxious planet
Then, I whispered in my lover’s ear:
“To love each other more … we have to leave up again”
Actually I felt confused of myself, how I love her and at the same time I ask to depart
Again and again I repeat my sins of yesterday… She said:
“Oh darling, we will not fold the life in the game of meet and flee”
Tears that filled her eyes refused to free itself… She was petrified and eluded, but sent pleading glances at me, requesting me to not cause for her a new wound with my departure as well leaving her alone with the sunset.
She kept waiting for an answer …waited and waited hopfully to change my mind and choose to stay beside her…
But I stepped down from dancing with her, amazed of myself and asked how didn’t I notice the lightened star all this long time ,while I have good eyes ,can see its glow from afar.
Something in my soul told me to forget the past… I closed my eyes and I wished if I can be in his place…
Hence I opened my hand to him but suddenly the earth was shaking under me. The stones shook…my feet staggered. And then all my body fell down in the deep river groove…
After a while I found myself indulged in the bottom of the river which is filled with mud and thick silt, I begged the river to give me just a little bit of its water to wash my eyes …and it answered me with a small despaired creak … I looked at it and found my reflection. It was full of scars of ulcerous sins. I could not believe myself because my fair face became distorted again. I rubbed my eyes strongly, not aware that my hands were covered with mud and dreaded silt. And so my eyes sank in the mud and a storm of scars ulcerous in them, causing my blindness again, and remembered my beloved whom I denied her right to exist and left her in a hit-and-run game as a prisoner for centuries … My heart beats hoping her forgiveness for another time…At this moment, an owl flied on my shoulder saying:
“It is no longer your fate.”
