Closing my eyes, I imagine myself there, in the blue Mirror, which cherishes the scarlet souls and velvet darkness. There my heart breaks with a ripe pomegranate, and its tart juice sprinkling my hands and face, brings back memories… It has been hundreds of years since I left the gloomy hall, leaving my weak-willed twin to guard your wounded soul. I spend my sleepless nights and restless days beside a cold dim mirror which no longer allows me to return to that fragile world where I was myself. Maybe I became the involuntary guardian of faded shadows hiding in the reflection… Or am I the shadow of the past?
Закрыв глаза, я снова представляю себя там, в синем Зазеркалье, лелеющем багряные души и бархатную тьму. Там мое сердце раскалывается спелым гранатом, и его терпкий сок, окропив мои руки и лицо, воскрешает воспоминания. Минули сотни лет с тех пор как я покинул сумрачный зал, оставив моего безвольного двойника охранять твою раненую душу. Бессонные ночи и беспокойные дни я провожу подле холодного тусклого зеркала, которое больше не позволяет мне вернуться в тот зыбкий мир, где я был собой. Так может это я стал невольным стражником выцветших теней, прячущихся в отражении? Или я и есть та самая тень былого?
i don’t usually make these kinds of posts but in the tags tell me what symbolic imagery you associate yourself with i’m curious. personally i associate myself with dogs, eyes, the color red, and wings.
