grandfathers and nomads

[iron_and_silver]

all my grandfathers are dead
and all past seems to have shed with the skin
that sheds in your sleep.
somehow
i still can feel you crawling on my skin
like nomadic fingers who lie to themseleves
with promises of settling down.
How i wish you knew all the land you roam
could be yours but
instead..
all my grandfathers are dead.
and I will wake up tommorrow with the false joy of fresh skin
and the reality of your trails.

That is just so beautiful, I cried. Girlfriend, you write some *AMAZING* poetry... =Þ My favorite line from it is:

"like nomadic fingers who lie to themseleves
with promises of settling down."

Anyway, hope you're having a great day. ¤hugs¤

P.S. I worked some on proofreading.. I should have it done tonight. (sorry, I fell asleep early last night!)
