One dark Easter...

One dark Easter...

Night, has fallen onto its cold bed
thus watching the burning woods corroding upon itself
I couldn't help but blame myself for this reason.
Was it me? Or was it the voices?
Though, my thoughts wandered against the grain of the day
despite the news heavy broadcast, stuck in my head
"All fires outside are prohibited until the dry season ends"

I....
I saw it coming towards me
a flight flickering motion, spew forth a phoenix
one which couldn't be withheld
I must have kept it going, all this time
till its satisfaction was stilled.
But surely, it can't have been me
...right?

For all I know, I might have been attacked
but self reliance came as sort of a natural instinct,
when rations got thin and my friends lay dead before me.
It was the best meal I'd had in what felt like years.
I cried and laughed for days after, as it was
I could have died after all.

Twas coldness I had not foreseen
One which had found me, whilst sleeping
I felt its burning sensation
Revealing what life beyond the raving trees
And whatever left of my memory
That night, I emerged alone
Leaving a trail way back
As black as I remember

Still, I don't know why they stayed, home was just an hour away
but something kept them checkmate, the layers peeling at every step.
Whenever I woke amongst the carcasses, careless as to
whether it was my fellow peers or animal remains
where as I pinched myself, to prevent that urge again
to provide to its cold depths, calling.

And now I'm in the court, still pinching myself
they keep staring at me, with this oddity.
As if they knew my faith already.
They ask me "What drove you into this madness?"
I answered in a most prestigious way
"Love..."



Near completion..

Hmm Eccer, i'll have to regurgitate this before i could digest it. For now, i'll say i love the ending.
Btw, was it this just concluded Easter?

Indeed, this is a hard nut to crack. You go through really weird sensations which make you point your finger in the end at love.

Can love be reached through a nightmare, I ask? I am sweating already !

Haha, I like going a little psychotic sometimes…in my texts that is <_< The fact he replies with love is simply because the character doesn't know better (he became mad after a couple of days with little food, and the cold messed up his mind) but he tries to explain it as gently as possible in the ways he know, to ease the judges "hate"
So yeah, it was inspired by a trip we recently had in the Easter lol, which btw was just concluded few weeks ago if that's what you meant Cat
