Phoenix Rising

You are my phoenix rising;
Revolting from the flames and ashes
That scores my soul with tainted lashes and
Thrusts me down to die

Yet in my heart chastising
With fears and hopes subsiding
And back, back again I fall on pity’s sword
Which speaks of past iniquities, tears, pain and
Torches doused again

You are my phoenix rising
Soar out then across the plains of my heart
Reach inside my very core and pluck me whole
From the skies; so this psyche can reveal
And heal for you, my phoenix

Subtle threads dividing
Beyond the grain of nature’s pull as
The beat of drums disguising, a passion in me rising
And against all past advising,
I fall, fall, fallFor you have become all
My phoenix rising
