the knife
that cut me
my blood spurts
bright red like
pomegranate
each drop holding
a seed of love
i felt for you
walking through
the seeds stick
to the soles
of your shoes
the juice taints
i move like fog
i cover the windows
of your car
of your cab
of your train
of your plane
i am the film
through me you
view your life
because you
slashed me
and the
pieces
linger
and
haunt
you

Captured well the feel of a slasher film; effective work.
ReplyDeleteI like the link between the blood the pomegranate juice, seeds and seed of love. Creative link there.
ReplyDeleteCreepy! Think you got the tone spot on!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this - the dark side of love - especially the image of viewing your life through a haunting of a slashed lover's eyes
ReplyDeleteHmm what can I say for there are dark times in everyones soul..
ReplyDeleteHaunting our slashers is the best revenge short of slashing them ourselves. Nice One Shot!
