ill keep the scabs fresh till the random numbers form a birthday
then ill cut it again
and bleed till my return
till the music makes me nervous and
i tie the memories in knots
so my mind doesnt slip
till i cant lean any further
without breaking the knees i stand on
ready to walk from
stale positions
across oceans to unfamiliar
places to display the scars
that show my patience
when tied to your ribs
till one day we can drink ourselves sick
enough to vomit out the reality
that exists in our heads
like sick virus'
that are standing opposite of the shadows that over cast the flesh that we are in pushing
new directions
pulling us new directions
till the air becomes hard to breathe from the toxins that were part of us

then it will be time to leave
to welcome what will return us to the fire you think of when our thoughts fade away
the embers that our minds can become after the blood grows old
we will stand as ashes to conquer the molecules that will seperated and tie us down
and in a new life we will find the
feelings again
a new time to begin
a new way to start this over
embracing what will bore
the minds of the fresh bodies until
the voices sound familiar...
to remember the way we stood before the flame and harnessed the strength
to do it all again
like a million times before
through the streches of eternal suffering
to bring us home
to reunite us time and time again
forever

then will you find me again?
to show me wind across my skin?
to help me feel the beauty?
to teach me to remeber what once was
before we drew breath in this life?

You know what I'm thinking. I don't need to say it.

Oh, and I love the title. I'm surprised you remembered.


the faeries creep into my hair at night leaving it in terrible knots

I loved the images used here! The language used was sort of challenging, and it can make a great epic poem if you want to add more to it at some point! Nice one dude.
