Beautiful Rebellion

She encompassed a fire within Smoldering her tender heart Her flesh, the barrier keeping it in Emotions, the cause of its start A beautiful Arabian who yearned to be free But managed to stay on track If she did anything, she did it passionately Never gray, only white or black Then one day her desires came to power She abandoned the task at hand Her thankless life had left her sour The taste in her mouth was bland She wanted to dance and taste sweet wine The aroma of lavender surrounding Eat purple grapes straight from the vine Float on the water of which she was drowning Her existence before, went up in flames Bare feet atop the ashes Boldly she took her own life by the reigns Tossed the box of matches
