Symphonies of destruction play. We recoil in the darkest hole. And they hunt us. They are within us. Our rage turns into wails. Into tears. And they never hear. So we burn. We burn them all. We burn us all. They fade in the whirlwind of days. But we’ll always last, in the particles of air.
Song 12: Recess-Muse
Check Out G-Man
so awsome. Think this was a really strong 55. Can never do 55 without going over
ReplyDeleteHello, Maha.
ReplyDeleteI think this is beautiful. Distraught and troubling but beautiful too.... "we'll last, in the particles of air."
Burning bright! Happy weekend to you.
My 55 is up too!
This was so powerful and amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title of this post, all I could think about was the song Resistance by Muse. :)
all that sorrow but you leave us with a glimmer of hope, maha. this was frightening, desperate...
ReplyDeleteI do not always feel such pain and desperation, but I surely cannot write about anything but it! I just cannot write normal, everyday-life stuff. I believe that pain has its own attractive dark magic that touches every heart. Come to think of it, if Romeo and Juliette eventually got married and lived happily ever after, would that play be immortal?
ReplyDeleteyou could have put the megadeath song symphony of destruction...lol. i hear what you are say as well. suffering has the power to bring us all together, because we have all been there...
ReplyDeleteIt burns but shines... lovely and great work MAha!
ReplyDelete;)
You've captured the despair and turmoil so vividly in 55 words, Maha. Trapped in that miry pit, unable to escape, and the anger and rage turns.
ReplyDeletevery powerful!
ReplyDeleteexceptional.
Wow...I'm speechless, you've how captured conflict transforms a people, how it insights fear and then suppression and death in only 55 words. This was a joy to read.
ReplyDeleteSo good! Those furies are inside us and outside us. So much energy.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a tendency to go toward the dark side. There is magic in the light also. Not all love needs to be tragic to be immortal.
ReplyDeleteVery powerful 55. Dark and mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting on my site.

us, because "we'll always last,
in the particles of air"
