When the night falls and the moon softly touches the sea, there is some restlessness in the waters of the sea. Its waves peel from it, spreading its arms to embrace the moon but the moon mischievously hides behind the cloud only to leave the helpless waves to shrink back in the sea.
"Ah, Sea you are too bold, have you ever seen women proposing men?" questions the moon.
Oh! He hardly sees my generosity, murmurs the Sea.
Then the Moon peeks again from the cloud and the Sea spreads its arms again to hold it but the distance is so much that its energy fades and shrinks
The Moon continues to tease the Sea by playing hide and seek from behind the cloud but the Sea smirks and says, "The clouds that you are hiding behind are also mine."
"Huh!" the Moon says, "Then why those tides?"
The sea winks and replies "Darling, these are just my ways to entice."
"Hah! Entice the one who itself is so mystical?" says Moon, with pride.
"Darling, why so much pride? It is my faith in you that makes you so mystical," replies the Sea.
"Hmm, you are right, what would my brilliance do if you did not have faith in me? You have so beautifully broken the pride in me!" confesses the Moon.
"Now, why do you make me yearn so much and keep disappearing behind the clouds?" questions the Sea.
"I am just trying to feel you, through a part of you?the clouds!" winks the Moon.
Smiling, the Sea says, "It's your wit and brilliance that always wins me and makes my waves throb for you."
"And it is the charisma of your melodious music and your dancing tides that fascinate me and invoke me every night to come and meet you" rejoins the moon.
"When the whole world is asleep, I am overjoyed to see you welcome me with your scintillating tunes and ballet. And then it is just so difficult for me to resist a single moment and with the strike of twilight. I come stealthily just to meet you" sighs the Moon.
"And I spend all day banging against the boulders and rocks in desperation, especially when I see lovers sitting by my shores; I become impatient and ebb and flow on the shores. How much I wait for the night, you will never know!" says the Sea.
"I know it all dear, had I not been the captive of the centripetal and centrifugal forces, I would have come straight down to embrace you and live with you forever" sadly states the Moon.
"Yes, and had I not been the captive of gravity, I would have flowed straight up to you and wrap you with all my love and care" utters the Sea desolately and smiles.
"I wonder when will we get out of this time warp or the curse and meet forever"
"Don't worry darling" replies the Moon and suddenly the sky gets darker and clouds begin to clear, leaving the moon alone in the sky. And then the Moon spreads a silvery hue on the sea as if embracing it. Then gently it caresses the Sea with its reflection. There is a wild ecstasy with this unique reunion and then the lovers dance in unison. It all appears awesome!
So lost are they in each others arms that everyday when the Sun comes, it winks at the Moon and says, "Time's up Buddy!"
And then farewell the lovers bid, promising to meet again. The Moon diminishes in the clouds and stillness in the sea dwells. And they eagerly wait for another night to fall, and then again they start with the rhapsody of their unique love affair!
