I'll wear you always, <br />etched to my skin <br />mythically rising from the flames <br />where you live to fight <br />another day. <br />Emerging from ashes <br />of your own demise, <br />resplendent reds upon golden fire, <br />a teardropp to heal, <br />song within your cry, <br />power of the Gods. <br />Above your wings <br />lays the inscription: <br />Nothing Lasts Forever, <br />in stark reference <br />to the life I know. <br />You, however, <br />will fly upon my flesh <br />as long as I survive, <br />until I'm bathed in fire. <br /> <br />13/7/07<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-new-tattoo/
