Evil lives in the skin
As the pen burns
Ink into the grain
Of the paper
Words filter through the mind
Passed down to the hand
In swift motions
Are written out
Fire upon the fire
Burning my inner desire
To continue writing
My poem
Burn the poems
Burn them all
Let the firey words fly upwards
Be free one and all
Ashes fall on ashes
Covering the lands
In dark versus
And lyrics
Like a blanket of grey snow
People walk and pick them up
Taking in their favorites
To rebirth the forest of words again
New limbs stretch from trees
Ripe words fall to the ground
Into our minds
And back to the pen again
The cycle repeats itself
Over and over
We burn the poems once more
To rebuild our world of literature

What do you know? I'd already seen this clip on youtube too, as well as the one about Santa. I don't know why I never clicked the links to the poems. This a great way to describe the writing process with a sort of dark and angsty cast over it. Well done!
