Phoenix Sonnet
Pain attacks my soul amid the
sunburst clouds of the forever
setting sun
Too long have I, this pain endured of life's reflection without
heartfelt love
Too long have I, worn this torturous adornment as a constricting
glove,
I would exchange this emotional rack I'm bound too, and with this
feeling be done.
Long ago in days I once knew were yet young upon the face of this
earth
My heart rejoiced frolicking the dew covered love we cast upon
the plants
The Planets revolved around our play while we lived most happily
with scant,
Till on the morning I never forgave, our lives came to an end,
rendered upon the hearth.
Long I wandered, alone in the land bereft and remorseful as the
volcanoes lie
Yet one day I heard a song in your voice, you are my beloved,
come help me to fly!
A vision of loveliness, one long lost in the black forest of
never more hope
You cast your vision upon me, calling me home to a land I've
never known
You planted my feelings upon your fields of emotional bliss
without any stones
I can not help but wonder, Is this God's wish? If so, when will
we safely elope? |
Arise Oh Bird of
Paradise
Behind each silver lining of a golden cloud indeed lies a pain
Like some fiery bird with wings of gold, illusive and obscure
Until all the exchanges of heaven and hell are met without a cure
Too long, yes too long this pain that has gone on with its disdain
In days gone by whence we were still young with passions fire
Hearts once renewed by the ever flowing tide of loves bliss
Around about the planets roved and we tasted of its first kiss
Forgive me thus, that I might once more herald in loves first desire
In volcano's fire burns all the dross of love's past and solemn
iniquities
Until the song of freedom is sung, and once more we fly with its
equities
Never more must we hope against hope, but trust in what the gift was for
In fields of glory then let us plant the seeds of faith and in fertile
ground
Not amidst the stones of dejection, that hiss back at us with hollow
sound
To love and to be loved, the vision that is seen by only those who
hunger for more
