Would you c/c this poem about past and future?

"Tell Me..."

Remembering skin without scars.

How long has it been,

millennia, eon?

How long have I wandered in lands non-existent,

forgetting my name as I cry out for you?

Drinking of wine, sipping on firelight,

feeling wounds burn though the marks can't be found.

Memories long sundered, names now discarded,

but sisterhood, blood, must always ring true.

Now to embrace and to touch,

to see you, resolved in your gifts as I'm severed from mine...

if ever death was a gift.

Are you at least free now;

for that's all that matters.

Are you at least free now,

for that is my longing.

I can't bring back childhood,

nor raise ancient ghosts.

But I wonder, now as then,

were ever we children,

were ever we young,

did we ever dance without destiny's tongue

dictating our minds and our lives and our time;

were ever you yours?

Was ever I mine?

Did ever you not call the Goddess by name?

Did ever I not know the edge of a knife?

    [Airy you were]

    Airy you were in my dream, I felt you;

    you had a bluish ribbon to twine,

    my souls' ocean drops in cold truth,

    the stars above ironically to shine;

    .......................

    I beckon; winds wave in worlds lost;

    my glance to fair trails in home field,

    a chorus of lost Angels foremost,

    singing a monody of my soul's grief.

    So there she talks. From far beyond,

    the depths of glassy domes, of stars,

    wishing - coins thrown in a pond,

    a fantasy dreamer I am, behind bars.

    Oceanic tall waves and yielding points,

    - teary depths prohibited, I sail to only

    caliginous, danger links and moist

    foam on lips as my Siren smiles lonely

    from a darker faraway to care softly,

    so as to touch my lips, singing a note,

    a poem for my lone death to ghostly,

    of irreversible Hades links that float.

    .......................

    Our steadfast sails to horizons gray,

    the years we passed will there shine,

    your low voice in the wind will betray

    my soul's Siren song and end my twine..

    Macabre view of an absence in life. I sense the craving for affection, and the rebuff from another. I see the coldness of lonesomeness merged with the probity of love. A relationship between a woman and her issues as sharp as knife. I give it a 7/10 Get rid of millena and eon. Change did we ever dance, to did we ever move without. Lack clarity, too many pronouns not enough names.

    i like this and grow to be taking it in 2 distinctive guidelines. One being bear in mind after dying, which this would possibly not recommend in any respect. at the instant I watched a action picture, "the beautiful Bones" a properly dealt with action picture on a terrible concern with a twist on the tip. This grow to be properly dealt with candies and a passionate examine.

    childhood was rather stolen from me

    or did I, give it up quite voluntarily?

    it seems I asked if maybe I could do these things

    and then one day

    the job was mine

    siblings hunger, siblings fight... and yes

    that knife was in her hand

    it never touched my pale white skin

    as I ran out and hid that night,

    my sister gave me quite a fright...

    and your poem, I read again to try and make some sense in mine

    my mind so tired and worn tonight, I simply do not have much fight

    so I will let this much suffice

    that to my eyes

    it looked quite nice ... and tomorrow when I wake perhaps

    poetry wont be so

    gauche

    I am a child again for the first time? or is it the fortieth

    >>>???
