My Awaited Phoenix

Holding back the stubborn tears Not of sadness but the harshness of the years Chocking on stale memories Of fake lovers and friends; Oh, the stories!!! Souls bleeding, pierced by the angels’ cries They weep as we don our translucent disguise You, my love, my mask unveil and the world you redefine Like vines in paradise, forever our hearts entwine My eyes imploring, leave my faith intact My mind with doubtful hope seek a truthful act Oh, take mercy; don’t be fooled by our virulent spirits Twists, Lies, deceit, and hate convert to human habits Like a phoenix, latent truths and honesty one day will rouse For beneath the ashes are ancient woes and eternal vows
