Lead of the Alchemist

I love to see a flower die
To know its seeds are spread
I love the taste of my own blood
To know i am not dead

I love to feel the nightfall
To know the dawn will come
I love the feel of putrid heat
To know there is a sun

I love to touch the dying
To know that they feel me
I love the smell of dead decay
To know the earth's fertility

I love to hear a baby cry
To know that it will grow
So that when its older
I can teach it all i know

Yes I shall have to echo the sentiment bellow me, which I am reading now to be from so long ago. I am suprised that this has not aged as well as it deserves to have done so.

I like how the poem twists its way from appearing to be another wrist-slasher to one leading towards happiness. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

When I read the first line, I thought that this was going to be another dark depressing poem, but it wasn't. You did a good job here. I enjoyed it. Just a thought - "dead decay" - is redundant.
Anything decaying is dead. I think! Anyway, I like it.
