The familiar objects on the desk reflect the feeble light of autumn: the shiny keyboard, the Pelikan pen, the notebooks, some photos of the past summer, and your portrait.
You are smiling, of the smile of a perfect avatar, as if this was the best that could be achieved, still, after so many pages, but not yet your entire self.
In silence I hope you will show yourself, your beloved face, those eyes where I wish to drown myself: the house is so quiet, and I cannot ignore those who have preceded you, the lineage of beauty…
Already I am typing these words, a timid effort at seduction, the slow approach of a shy pygmalion.
I feel the light air shimmer, the suspension of time in this room, I recognise your scent, petrified, I look in the direction of your chair: you have come, my only, my so-beautiful and so loyal character – and at this moment how I love you…
beautiful writing.

Sometimes they tease, sometimes they reveal everything, sometimes they are an enigma, but it’s up to us to draw them out…beautiful!

This says as much about the writer as it does the character, which, when one thinks about it, is the case with all great characters. :)) The sensuality of your language is always pleasing, Honoré. You’ve inspired me now to try this week’s prompt. xo

It’s an absolute pleasure to read this piece – so much evoked over such a small yet superbly detailed space. I really enjoyed the last paragraph the most about the shimmer in the air and the suspension of time. It is such a nice image to picture how a woman can affect a man’s view of the world in this way. Brilliant.
