short story

I am a mirror
violently thrown on a brick wall

I am millions of tiny shattered pieces
I cut
you bleed out onto the abstraction of me

then
I am millions of tiny rose petals
as red and shiny
as a grandiose slaughter of innocence.

    i have been having this urge to write something for the past week or so, and nothing was coming out the way i wanted it to. i think this will make me write

    i love the whole scene.. the mirror breaking and shattering, i can imagine it in slow motion.. then the blood and the roses.. the last stanza gave me allusion to sthg i duno if u meant or not..
    losing innocence, penetrate the flower.. i duno the last stanza kinda gives out that meaning

    anyways, u are a genius, i love ur brains, i love ur words and i love u ktir!

  • Huh,... wow.... this is really cool. It illustrates the duality of life and human emotion, which is in turn a mirror of life itself. There is a myth associated with Stephen King's epic apocolyptic fantasy "the Dark Tower" that fits this perfectly down to the rose petals and glass even. Have you read it?

      no i haven't which is weird since i've read most of king's work...ive heard about the dark tower though,it's a trilogy right ?
      thanks for your comment my friend

      • No, it's a cycle of 7 novels. It's different than anything else he's written. Even he considers it his masterpiece. Every King novel you've ever read is set within the world of the Tower. And you're welcome.
