Immortal Gift

i'd become immortal again binding 
a hardened stone catering to the sensual 
needs to gather soiled stained hanker chief 
a sudden removal of all earthly gesture's 
i'd crawled beneath self tracing his footsteps 
he guided me somewhere between heaven and earth 
i suppose as night crawled under day creating 
a soft mauve glow throughout the sky all sense's
 
were quite balanced and filled with a tidiness 
i'd rather not embrace the calmness about me 
moved  searching for granite hills and solid 
foundations as the warm mist traveled evenly 
through ancient greenery of pastel pasture's 
while my mind craved a certain mastery i found 
little peace depicting a tranquil finding i'd began 
to shatter openly into a million pieces a sheer

rapture abode my firm structure as my mind 
swayed tossing memories back and forward 
a charming force chasing the eye of the needle 
i'd encased virtue beyond my wild eye's slowly 
madness had return shivering about my space
 why i'd carefully stored it somewhere between 
the grand piano of broken keys and lost notes 
unspoken memorandums followed by speech 

hence moving tolerance behind me abandoning 
life as i gazed earnestly above the carny dreams 
of a folklore's tale capturing my soul in a borrowed 
dance a game of chance as i began watering the earth 
with a mountain of tear drops drowning myself into 
solace and relief quiet moments opened the windows 
to my mind seeking refuge in my thoughts my desires 
an infamous notion that i once walked among 

the living that i once soared through the galaxy 
clinging to light clinging to hope's findings absorbing 
life's bruise's feeling human emotions for one small 
moment i'd felt a twinge where life once dwelled 
somewhere within me
