want to kiss you.� His eyes pierced into mine. He wore three black sweaters, but even in all those layers of clothes, the ice from him radiated. I clutched at the fabric, pulling him closer to me, my hand around his neck.
He leaned in, his incredibly blue lips just inches from mine now.
I rose to the tips of my toes in anticipation, reaching myself higher to meet his height. He interlaced the fingers of his icy hand with mine. He wrapped his other arm around me, and gently leaned me back, causing my pulse to quicken and my breath to waver. magine being frozen like this, my lips only inches from yours, but never touching. Wouldn't it be tragic?�
He had confused me. I didn't understand, so I didn't say anything. He leaned me forward again, dropped my hand. can't kiss you, Frankie. Not this way.�
“Why?� I asked him. “W did I do wrong?�
Ԩdz have an admirer, already.�
Ԩdz saw ?�
“Mhm,� he said. Ԩdz didn't enjoy it. Not for a second.� His glimmering eyes caught mine. I remembered stalking through the house with Nick, and what a sight that must've been. I didn't want Nick touching me at all. I didn't want him kissing me. The fact that Johnny could tell...
“But I will kiss you. You and I have some sort of future together, I ought to think.� I saw a ghost of a smile. “But I'm not a guy of ordinary kisses, you should know. When I kiss you, it will be the kiss, not just a 쾱.”�
Today is Auguste Rodin's 172nd Birthday + Frankie's Monster teaser #2
Here is the Teaser part. To check out the full post, go to my original blog here:
I haven't felt or heard my heart beat in several years. I don't need to
in order to know I'm alive, but to know if I'm in love? The music box
needs to tick. It's the only way I have of knowing. Of feeling.
Anything.
I
haven't felt either, in so long. But when I look at the
François-Auguste-René Rodin sculptures, particularly The Kiss
and Eternal Idol—t
Lovers—I feel the dials and gears in my heart want to start
counting for me again. I think the music is about to start playing
again. It makes me want to perfect this statue I'm working on. I want
to be like Auguste Rodin. Always in love.
I
am thinking about The Kiss,
the detail, the emotions—it's impeccable. Astonishing even. The
male's toes grip the rock, his back is rigid, he's full of passion
for the female. They're in the flesh and only
in the flesh. His hands are exactly where they ought to be. Her leg
is swung over his, her toes caressing his. A kiss? Only
a kiss?
I
want to be that male.
I want to experience that.
It's
visually stimulating, but I can't help but wonder if I would even be
able to feel what it is that male lover feels with his immortalized
female. He will be there, entwined with her like that for eternity.
Feeling that way forever. His hands will be all over her, his toes
pressed into the rock. He will forever feel the passion. It won't be
a fleeting emotion or experience. It'll be everlasting. But the
tragedy? Their lips won't ever meet. The Lovers' Lips won't ever
touch. They will never kiss. They are frozen together that way,
unable to move forward.
They
both met their demise, their passion interrupted before it had time
to explode into further possibility.
The
Kiss was originally entitled
Francesca da Rimini. Francesca
committed adultery, becoming Lovers with Paolo, her husband's
brother, after reading the story of Lancelot and
Guinevere—forbidden love
between the Queen and the Knight.
Just
give into the impulse, the love, the passion, with a disregard for
the consequences.
Eternal
Idol interests me because their
hands never touch. His hands are behind his back, hers holding her
foot, and he's kissing her breasts and belly.
Hands
that never touch. Lips that never meet. The Almost
Lovers, Never to be.

And the best part is? That wasn't the Teaser!
That was just proof that our Johnny Heart is, in fact, a Rodin fan!
To celebrate Rodin's birthday, and the forthcoming Frankie's Monster
here's the realٱ.
