Cause and Effect

just my imagination.... Derive your own meaning, my friends...

Shattered Smirnoff bottles of
                     Butterfly wings,

                       Broken dishes...regret

Black Velvet horses beyond reason...

Time can never mend reckless whispers;
                     Do you bleed as I do?

Author's Note

This is a short one although I felt I said what needed to be said... Sometimes life is not pretty, yes?

This is almost as if you've taken the images of some nightmare and thrown them onto a page. So intriguing, jagged and poignant all at once !
You've done a phenomenal job with very few words.
Well done :)
And thank you also for the review of my work.

Nice work...we live to regret many of our own ill advised decisions and yet we bleed fom the heart those feelings of guilt...

nice...

[C.R. Moore "Lasla"]

A very powerful and motivating truth of one s souls pain and anger but yet the expression is bold as is the soul that writes it .I feel we all bleed in many different ways some the same ,some different but all have them and it is what makes us grow within ourselves this was very moving to me as having been in that position many times. I also know that I will be there again,a different situation or maybe even.
Excellent write many blessings....LM

'time can never mend reckless whispers,do you bleed as i do'..dear apollonia,there was no need for more words here..these few words said it all.I love how you said reckless whispers.You said it ever so gently yet said it all.There was a lingering ache to this.

this a great write with a powerful meaning. and it is very truthful. i couldn't agree more. excellent work and a nice look to it that conveys the concept even more.

[HorrorMaster]

Very good short one.

[Legion]

Yes, sometimes it is not. Hadn't seen much of your stuff lately. This is tragic and damnable in its message but presented so well that, even though it is short, the reader is immediately thrust into something that crafts a scream of anguish deep within scratching and clawing its way to the surface for freedom. Well done.
