OH
LORDS I MISSED MY COMPUTER!!!
This kinda just flicked into my
mind, and
Crimson battlefield
Crimson
dots the dustless, rich, brown earth of the field, captivating in the
beauty that, at the same time, is swallowed up by the endless
colorless deadly art created by an amassed dripping.
Dripping.
Never
stopping.
The ruby droplets scatter as far as the eye can see,
brazenly standing out within the sun's golden radiance; so close and
warm, to see and not to touch, yet so hauntingly distant and cold,
every caress blazing of flame.
At first only a few adorn the
ground, trembling as the earth beneath them moves, until the
inevitable moment they sink into the earth, the only remaining proof
they had been there being the ever-present blotches upon the ground,
even though they would disappear, floating away, mingling with
the dust as the wind picked up and carried it away, an offer to
whichever deity had designed this work of art.
And a work of art
it was, no less as the raw colored flecks multiplied, from a dozen,
ranging rapidly towards the millions, no longer in the perfectly
shaped freckles of red, but gory splashes of hue in a colorless
world.
The disarrangement of it, in its lack of control, of
similarity, of symmetry, only served to better display that beauty
was within the eye of the beholder, and that beauty could be found in
every aspect of life.
A dark cloud rang true as no longer were the
splashes alone, they were accompanied by the musical ringing of
screams in the dusk, screams of agony, screams of triumph, screams
from the battlefield, and of bodies laying, sitting, moaning,
twitching, covering the blood spots, and at the same time, deepening
their impact.
None will ever speak of this day, as they lay close
to the coppery stench of that beautiful liquid, death hovering around
them, and they saw it, I know they did, they say the beauty that lay
beneath it, within it, around it, inside them all, and I believe it
frightened them.
As they lay there on that crimson battlefield.
