A reflection of Shields and Broken Armour

A reflection of Shields and Broken Armour

A Poem by poetictori
"

5/26/29 An on-going war with yourself.

"
Flesh that lies beneath their clothes is rubbed raw 
As if it was scraped to the core underneath his fragile skin 
As if it was chewed and swallowed just to be digested and then regurgitated 
A silver blockade of shields and broken armor is piled on the floor 
As if it has met ends with a sword that had sliced through his bones 
The blood drips down his arms and onto the thin blades of grass
As if the Earth was craving the rivers that gush through his veins
Clashing sounds of metal are screaming while the air is stilled 
A ringing fills ahead and the whole world is a muted empire 
Gravity saves him, as a sharp edged object from his hand falls to the cold floor
His stinging eyes are held tightly shut. 
Silence. 
A statue becomes of him..
... He leans down and grips the sharp piece of glass firmly and looks down at his wet hand 
A reflection glares back, 
Squinting made it seems as if there was a war inside those light green eyes,
Blood drips down his arms and over the palms of his hands
While the scraping sound of metal against metal is reborn
More blood. 
More screams. 
The sharp reflected object descends toward the floor
His knees cave and then his core,
While his right cheek stands peremptorily positioned against the freezing tile.
Burnt arms facing upwards, legs languished.
A reflection of those light green eyes flickered in intervals while his heartbeat left his feeble body.
