Ruins - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
All that remains are silent chambers, aglow in waiting, alive with hissing thought
Mausoleums for whole worlds, each cell a tomb, each tomb a memory, empty of the dead
The starless skies are shields and swords, forged by celestial might, an uneasy warning
A forge that burns, that makes: bones into iron, flesh into lightning, desires and dreams turned to screams and howls
Beware the Legacy, remember the Lament
Utopia lies in hallowed ruin, guarded by those who know only long, slow cycles
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
The towers wait, the tombs hum. The fortresses crumble, the dams rot. This decay is beautiful, this decay is endless and stalwart. It cracks and cleaves and splits, it’s tendrils push up, out, sling across, surge through. Sunlight and the drip-drip-drip of tenacious waters. Did Rome at its height dream that one day so little would remain, did the great statues abandoned in eternal sands know that their truest accomplishment is to warn of grandiose nature made frivolous, pathetic, from marching time? Our fate remains the same, irrelevant and brief— and beautiful.
I sit on the ledge, surrounded by concrete and glass— irrelevant monoliths and irreverent designs, all inhospitable, all hostile. Featureless as the faces of the dead. Snow comes down like pale, cold stars weaving through chilly air. Flex my fingers, see my breath spiral against cold air, my heart beating steadily.
Cold metal against my skin. Heavy.
