I have been working on this piece for the past 7 months and I finally managed to finish it, so here you have it.

                            About the Poem

                         As My Veins Turn Red Again
Within darkness I writhe, as his whispering blows wither my lips to autumn,
I know every stone of this floor, colored with congealed carmine that oozed off my eye
Your talons grasp my shoulder, a vulture clutching carrion close to it's beak
Your serpent fangs shatter all sensation in my shoulder
your knife makes my broken veins howl for plasma, your purple haze chokes the air off me
A crown of thorns are the remnants of my pride crying its demise,
As you whisper your howled haunted horrific hallucinations
The cries of my dried throat have been clasped in unheard silences.
A false sunrise grasps my heart in its leather fingers,
My eyes open greyyed with the smoke of your cigar
No more can I choke down my own blood boiled to black clumps
Acid runs in my veins, ruins in my cheeks, eats me in-out
Your cane strikes and blade slits, spelling out your pleasure
But as you make your last slash, the lioness inside me erupts at last.
The last slash still burns but I escaped my chains,
tore from y


As My Veins Turn Red Again talks about resurrection. After going through a lot of pain when somebody finally comes out of it, how they feel, how it still haunts them yet how they battle it everyday and find happiness. The overall message is to never give up. As Buddha says,"It's never to late to turn over a new leaf." 

                            About the Artists

I would like to start by thanking :iconmolly798465: for her utmost cooperation with the piece and making the artwork for this poem. It took us about 4-5 months to finalize the whole piece and it's artwork and she has not only shown her patience but has been dedicated and I am glad I got to do this with her. Beth is an amazing artist with great capabilities and specialties and has developed new skills with time. I believe she would become a great artist someday.

My biggest thanks goes to :iconcompanyindeath: He is an AMAZING writer. His capability with words, comparisons and metaphors is beautiful. He says so much in such a beautiful way which made me feel that he would be the best person to help me write this masterpiece. Benjamin has shown a lot of patience in dealing with me and has always offered artistic ideas. I really enjoyed working with him and I can assure you that you would be reading a book written by him very soon.

Overall I am glad that I could make 2 great artistic friends who did justice to this title and this beautiful piece.


I really hope you guys enjoy this piece.
Love you all! xx
