The ; should be a ,
Otherwise, it's correct, if you mean to say "you should expose what I once buried" - otherwise try "what I did bury is once again exposed".

Well mechanically speaking, it's improper usage of a semicolon, however, in poetry, semicolons are often used to signify a longer pause than a comma, regardless of the context. So basically, the semicolon is okay as is.

Well, yes and no.
No: It would be, "What I did bury is once again exposed." It's not grammatically correct because it's missing is (and you need to make exposed past tense, just put a d on there, because, "what I did bury" is past tense).
Yes: Being a poem, it's okay to cheat with grammar a little. Poems don't always have to have perfect grammar, and as far as a poem goes, it's fine (just don't forget to make expose exposed).
