A Pheonix In Her Heart

Once upon a fortunate time I saw a princess that was so sublime. She was *embellished with the beauty of a Seraph. Therefore, in her heart, I sowed a seed that would etch a lovely *pyrograph. That special *calescent egg of divine source Was implanted to guide the maiden on her predestined course. Then, as time passed by, the eggshell began to crack. 'Twas a rare bird breakin' through the sack. And behold! a baby Pheonix. Oh...there was the babe in love's *matrix! Right away the little chick began emitting sparks- Tiny sparklin' flares which left fond marks. Despite that, as the bird grew, she ignore' Due to the shyness that was resting in her core. Thus the foul began to feel *claustrophobic. So... that was the moment to perform fervor's magic. Overwhelmed with an ardent vehemence the Pheonix lit on fire, And, inhaling and exhaling, flames he did respire. Then, the horizon of the young girl's heart got ablazed. Suddenly, the lass began to feel amazed. And right after, a conflagration of passion consumed all resistance, Thereby leaving peace on the fiery bird's semblance. Now it was able to soar through the sweetheart's soul. So the Pheonix accomplished his fate and the damsel her goal-- 'Cause she pursued her prince, And *enamoring him, they lived happily ever after since. *Embellish-- adorn. *Pyrogragh-- a design produced by pyrograghy. Pyrograghy is the act of producing drawings on wood, leather, etc., by using heated tools or a fine flame. *Calescent-- increasing in warmth; getting hot. *Matrix-- an enclosure within which something originates or develops; a womb. *Claustrophobic-- suffering from claustrophobia. Claustrophobia means an abnormal fear of being enclosed in a confined space. *Enamor-- inspire with love or delight. For Sami Al-Khalili's contest
