The Victory

Original Submission by Halah Fatmi

Blood, a liquid flooding through our veins comprising of our body integrates not only the functioning of body rather it helps the heart to articulate new bonds apart from the pre shaped ones to new ones as well.

The blood relations holds a very significant and influential value in each’s life is what this perplexed world has in it’s basket for every to learn. Heart being intrigued for the new emotions it witnesses through the circle of life at a given stage where it gets attached to someone u don’t share ur blood with, unhinged of nature as it is said, ally with ur real true who’s blood runs in u but in the very next page it asks of the poor to love another.

Love? What defines love, love a symbol of the innocent heart preaching it’s innocence to the connections it’s been making, the connections not with the heavens you’ve pushed down to walk in hand back to it with rather with the ones own ur not flooded to the core with but with those the tangling emotions birthed with the conflict of heart and brain concluding urself in a pit if u don’t decide to choose between and let one win

The threads of bond the system comprises of with every strangle of it squeezed down with the inflow of the red liquid are the bonds very pure and holy can only the almighty grasps in the strength sturdy enough to break through detangling the overlying heavenly threads pulling them each so disruptive breaking in the soil once again to stuff the bond feets within ending it for once and all for that being comes in close a certain somebody shedding the pain of outbreak of one precious bond snatched apart. The bonds of the threads of blood plays in the hands of nature lies ahead the puppets of a drama so wise connects the bloody threads to the heads and the body irrespective of how wicked and witty it may be staged with the ultimate ending it ever would receive is absolute defined in the hands of the creator and not the creations can never bear the strength to manipulate with them says the heavenly heavens. Destined it is for them despite how much despair ignites the stage attempts to burn one thread connecting one puppet to another, has it for the clan to come together irrelevant of the atmosphere of stage all ready to water down the attempt, forming a barrier against the foreign protecting the country of their own. Runs through are the bonds so sturdy bounded tight by threads so red, blood flows through those threads providing in the surface for it to shape by the laws of nature.

Skimming through the strands of hair are the fingers are examining the eyes prodding straight to the fragile bonds the heart tames believing it is the forever and last, tampering with those are the hands running through the dead like bonds, a mistake

and it breaks with no red liquid streaming out to have it clot and repair greets the Dead Sea.

Ending the conflict and dispute stands through the unsettling situation defining the blood wins. The bonds and relations that are there through blood are the most significant and the strongest unlike the bonds not the creator but the creations are inclined to may not result in victory but there is no war for the blood to lose as it sets in being different and unique on its own asserting it’s dominance over any else.
