A Room With A Secret, Dark As Chocolate.

He was dead. At  least his body was. His soul survived. The room was dark. Dark as chocolate. Except for the candles burning. Soundless space. The clock was not working. It was cold. It did not bother him. A body needs warmth, he had only his soul to take care of. The castle was his home. Nobody knew he lived here. He was not planning to go to heaven, nor to hell. The application process would take him too long. And for what? He had an unfinished business on earth. However, he had no clue how to get there. His soul observed the scene. With some painful silence. If he still would have his eyes, he would cry now. Luckily no longer an issue. His emotions were present. Only, expressing them without his body parts was more of a challenge.

His heart was gone. It was damaged. Two big holes had hit it. Hit it extremely hard. He died instantly. The streets in the city had no mercy. The stones did not caress him. When he fell on the ground. No human being was there. To give him compassion in his last minutes. He cried and called his mother's name. She was absent. She always had been. He felt lonely. In that particular moment. When he closed his eyes to say goodbye to his body, he could make a last wish. The universe noted it down. If only he could feel true love in his soul, one time. His wish was sealed in a closed envelope. It was considered done. Only, he had to make sacrifices, one of them was, to accept that his body was gone. He took it with grace. Did not complain. He was brought to the castle. His new stay.

The application form for his future love was on the table. He only had to fill it out. That was an issue. Without arms, hands and fingers and muscles to move them all, it was almost impossible. Luckily he had a strong will. His soul still had some mental power. He concentrated well. Tried. Again and again. The pencil was pulled towards the form. An angel statue received living energy for some time. The power to move. It understood the assignment. Just like that. With a loving smile it asked questions to have all the answers. The application form was completed. As if this had been a dream, the angel statue turned into stone again. The application form got wings and disappeared in another dimension. A team of special beings with no name were engaged to make it happen.

They found her. She was alive. She was invited to visit him in the castle. Luckily she had an adventurous soul. There he was, sitting in the couch. With no body. Nothing to impress her. He only had his soul. However, she was special. She had learned to see through all superficial lines. She saw his colors. Was touched. Her lips curled. In a heavenly shape. The next moment she sat down. Looked at him for a very long time. He was speechless. Such a special experience. She scanned his whole life and all his past lives. It matched. With her history, present and future. Heavenly match. The universe was smart. He asked forgiveness. He felt bad, to be in front of her without a body. She reacted in a very sweet way. She took it with love. Apparently she was looking for true love too.

Days of talking. Laughing and exchanging beautiful experiences. Books full of wonderful stories. All written during their loving encounters. She returned each day. She got more beautiful with each visit. He was falling in love. Slowly. She felt the same. Was part of the same process. The scene of his dead body made her cry. She was grateful that his soul remained on earth. They came closer on soul level. It felt good. Her body was shining. Her soul full of light. Her divine feminity was a treasure to him. If only he could touch her. She was so mesmerizing. She could read his thoughts and smiled. The castle made a special effort. It was warming up. So that she would not feel any cold. She was at ease. The room was dark, but she only saw the light of the candles.

The day had arrived. They were ready to meet each other at the deepest level. He tried to make her understand that she was the one. He missed his body parts. He could scream. So frustrated. She took his soul in her arms. Then the impossible was transformed into the possible. Her true and deep love created magic. With her loving energy she could reshape his body. The frequency was high enough to make it possible. He saw what was happening. Felt so happy. Soon his body was fully regenerated. It was a wonder. They made love. As no living being ever had done before. Not even in their dreams. The castle still exists. They are still making love. Neverending moments of tenderness. The room kept the dark secret for ages. Only the ones that have heard the incredible story, can see the love birds with their own eyes.
