The Vessel of Fortune

Spread the love

I rode my car and thought, “Can there be anything as real as destiny?”

I saw the red lights turning green and red again. They changed colours less likely than any human could, we have truly evolved ourselves from the species we were. 
 
I thought of my childhood. Feeble and lean, yet hardly did my mother had enough strength to carry me. I rose from my ashes that burned me once. They’re now my nest and I rose again like a phoenix. The phoenix with majestic colours and I, with deep discoloured scars. We are not so different after all.

I blew the horn of a car my father could never afford, could never pronounce. I rode up higher. Higher where the nightmare were wilder. I took another hairpin bend, I thought of her.

Them eyes so beautiful, black.
Black- which could scare you, like a raven who brings the death angel behind it. She smiled like the angels and called her name to protect her. A afce I could never forget. A soul similar to that of a woman who wombed me to life.
Lies are all we could form without any deformities.
Perfect lies.
Sweet lie.
Comforting lies.
And just lies..

Then there were lies I had blessed her with, all kinds of them. Disappointed ravens eyes where now wet with turbulent mind. The vessel of my self-constructed fortune had a hole, it kept draining out. It kept draining me.

Another hairpin bend, another road, higher. Another green signal and yet a heart that doesn’t forget her and my lies..
