PHOENIX RISING--updated

PHOENIX RISING

I strike the soul
With fury
The ecstasy of cold steel
Ravish the senses
Tear into your heart
And
Make it bleed
To feel
What I feel
Fire and Ice
Intensity of energy
Movement into  melancholy
Escape into fantasy
Stunned by reality

I survive myself
And
My humanness
Steal away to hell
Rise to heaven again
Tell
My singular history
Into the depths of
My quintessential self
You with me
Burning into ashes
Phoenix rising
Again
