Ink Blots
Silent, screaming blood covers the words as they stutter over the torn page, as though the ink in the bottle has been replaced with the tears of scars covering our hands.
Tears left only to smear these words, every syllable, broken and blurred.
Shadows flicker in the dim candlelight and our hearts start to falter.
Collapsed sparks of life calling through the splintered glass in the window pane awaken us after dreaming in the slumber of the thirst of insomniacs.
Scars and broken bones, not quite healed are our inspiration, and also the promises of these wars and battles.
Break the curse binding us to where we stand.

Amazing imagery!! I how you say things (ex: night is not night, it is the passage below, painting a clear picture of night yet never mentioning the word)

Oh, thank you! I honestly only added this a few days ago and wasn’t expecting anyone to read it for a while other than the people I told to go to it!

Amazing indeed. I too love the imagery!
Thank you! You know, I saw your name and thought it looked familiar… Didn’t you comment Perhaps by Jono Ice? (Sorry, I noticed the oddest insignificant things ever.)

I commented on Jono’s work before, yes. Other than that you might see me around as I am quite addicted to this site lol
I’m addicted to it too! I just remembered your username from that for some reason though. (My mind works kind of oddly.) And I was looking through writing again and saw something by you and wondered if this was a sign…….

Haha You know, I think this conversation isn’t so much of comments anymore…
