Like a phoenix

Like a phoenix,
Risen from the ash,
Driven to burn fiercely,
So that it can last.

Symbolic of Immortality and Fire.
So too we will be,
Taken from the lowest mire.
We’ll light ourselves to be young again,
Eternally.

Let your love be strong.
Strong like the great span of the phoenix wing
That first stopped my fall.
Let us sing.
Let us call…

Call to the heavens in an inarticulate melody.
Our notes igniting other lovers’ jealousy.









Be with me.





So that we can be

Like a phoenix,
Risen from the ash,
Driven to burn fiercely,
So that it can last.

Apollo will stop to hear our song as we bathe.
And as the rising sun
Lights its golden rays
Giving us light. Giving us faith.

And together we will be.
A blazing symbol of immortality.
