'phoenix'
By scatcatblu
~O~ little phoenix how I count the screams as the petals I tug plead in voices of rusty steel tiny flower breaths ignite falling as ash in my mind I dream the roses blood red tainted with the scent of feathers singed ~ insert your tongue inside my mind taste honeyed pain lifeless but exisiting all the same initial my soul with your breathless pleas I will wrap you in the darkest grip of tenderness defying you to leave ~ sanctified by your presence torn from the pit of absolution dreams of fiery columns crashing down upon me bending to the rhythm of your unending need I stoke the embers in numb expectation I raise the knife of unquestioned temptation bleeding a spark for you to steal ~ captured in meek submission which one of us is the demon unending torture in a fiery hell creating gardens of screaming souls flinging together charcoaled humanity listening for answers to your own anonymity ~ clasping one another with push and shove drinking of a sordid past shared as one riding on the wind of insecurities who would crash and burn in flames of inadequacy tell me truthfully when to let go ~O~ Written March 31st, 2002 © on Mar 31 2002 10:56 AM PST 18 • 0 • 10
