Remember me?

akqrate · 09-02-2005, 04:42 AM

Returning...
I notice the imprint of my own footsteps
leading the opposite way.
This journey was a perfect circle.

I tried to escape myself
To find that buried treasure
at the end of the rainbow, but
the seven colours faded long before sunset.

Escaping this place
Escaping my place
If i escaped this life
I could not escape this face.

I... tried.
I tried not to think.
I tried not to blink.
How... can one escape from his shadow?

At least I came back bearing gifts...
A heart that is still polluted
A soul that is still deluded
and a pen that writes confessions.

Take me as I once was.

If any of you still remember me, this one is for all y'all... returning to the poetry realm soon.

I remember you, well your name. But that's it!

"I... tried.
I tried not to think.
I tried not to blink.
How... can one escape from his shadow?" Ahh, I dont know man...

This was good, Welcome back? I guess

wut up sucka. Yea man coarse I remember you. You were on of my fav. poets right before I busted myself out of here. As you pointed out, all I acheived (we) was a circle. As much as I hate this place there are a lot of good people who are just here for the poetry.

Nice piece for your return. Is this keystyle? Sounds like something that was spur of the moment. Kind like when I came back it was like.. well... I kind of want to write something... why not share it with a few people than no people.

anyway glad you back man. try to stick around though I know its tuff.

I tend to come in waves.

oh yea man.. my rep was dead when I came back too. I think they reset everyone. but uh yea.. I was at 540 somethin up until two weeks ago. (more posts than rep points) sad eh. but then one day your hear and have a shit load for no reason. I guess it all works out.

AQ!! What's up with you? How are you man? I kinda figured out this poem, but it's personal as well. Yeah I agree with ashes as well, but we always come back to this place. Anyway keep writing.

-Much Love

Liked the first stanza the most. Just seems like no matter how hard you try you still end up in the same shit hole. Welcome back to the realm man.

One luv
