Echoes Jailbreak (Where The Colors Dwell - 4)

 Dear traveler,

 

Fear not death, for brave is the man who tosses himself away on the brink of the void.

The echoes of your cries are finally set free, and once more, into the outer world you shall dwell.

But worry not.

For the colors are no illusion, but rather the world itself.

The turquoise veil has lifted itself to reveal pale shades of a shy rainbow.

It gleams before the horizon,

Before all turns dark.

And when that happens, remember.

Remember to keep your eyes open,

Not to trap the echoes in your heart.

Then surely,

Surely,

Colors will seep through the rays of daylight again.

 

Sincerely,

- Unknown

A Story (Where The Colors Dwell - 5)

…The echoes I felt while gazing into him. They paint a story so profound that a couple of eternities wouldn’t be enough to rummage the bottom of it; Profound enough for all to relate within seconds of it. A story filled with colors , and love. Scene 1: Hard times Year 12 “Take a seat.” he patted the soil for how good it’s been to us . “Let me tell you a story” he said, as I sat next to him. The man’s slender shadow shielded my frail limbs from the scorching sun. The cracks on my lips finally took a break from their journey, and kind as I am, thought well of providing them with a moist sip of air for ventilation. I turned my protruding eyes towards the man at my side. The contours of his face radiated a story from unknown lands, far away into the distance. He seemed weak, however. Weaker than usual. “You need not speak a word!” is a phrase that I couldn’t utter no matter how hard I tried. The palm of his hand caressed my dry scalp as he laid eyes on the horizon , where we c...

You Can't Go Home Again (Where The Colors Dwell - 1)

It was a drizzly summer day when I set foot on motherland. Took me about an hour to get through and leave the airport, from which every step felt like a blurry burst of memories. To my surprise, (mom) امي was not yet there to greet me; But that’s fine, I am used to waiting. Lifting my head was one kind of shock— “Would you look at that? We now have clouds!” I thought to myself. That one kid who loved the smoke machine back in middle school must have made it as an engineer. The blue sky I reminisced about was hardly visible. The atmosphere did, nonetheless, smell like home.   امي had arrived. I dearly hugged her and damaged my luggage in the process of stripping from it. I was never particularly attached to these belongings anyways, and clothes won’t break from a fall. I finally let go of امي . (Uncle) العم was right behind. He hugged me. The ride home was quite enjoyable. Most of these buildings were nicer than the ones this place had before. Maybe after a few more wars we...

DRAFT: A Sea of Screaming Holy Carcasses (Paintings for The Ages - 1)

I am running against the gods, eyeing up a dull navy blue battling the roar of Zeus into the night. Alas, it stands unsuccessful at wholly stifling the spears of the gods; That is, if the gods weren't dull and blended into cursed tides of a navy blue. I gaze; High as I can, as the sky wrestles itself into a flashy tumult of brewing waters. Once upon a time, the waters fell, high into the heavens. Now, at this very moment, they brandish threats of a second fall, down onto us. Once again. Dull shades of a navy blue must triumph, for the earth does not wish to merge with the heavens.   Not again.   If it lost, God forbid, may Zeus himself strike us down. You and I, as well as all under the sky, for my powerlessness matches my awe and so would yours. Perhaps God will forbid, nonetheless; And I, amongst the people, will live unstruck by the heavens. For this shell may enable me to escape the war from above, in the event that a lone cloud of cars rivals speeds of d...
