An empty page means missing thoughts
Like vacant kisses (mindless fucks)
The cutters wrist
The addicts veins
Scarred and nearly look the same
A Binders books last til he dies
A Robbers treasure rots away
An empty book learns the most
A full book opens eyes
Don't mind the Fire-Dancer
When he's near precious page
His hands are quick from practice
And the flames obey him
We terrorize by night
Scream the Fire-Raisers
Fire and death bring us delight
Who are we to tame them?
Create a story Bluejay
The minsteral for you sings
You will live forever
Songs bring Immortality

I loved those books, and I loved this poem. It really took me down to a dark place, wrapped in childhood memories. Beautifully executed!

Oh! I've read all of those books.
"An empty page means missing thoughts"
