Phoenix

-- Unfamiliar Earth beneath my feet Tranquility is vast In my hand it escapes less readily than water Thoughts seem empty Sublime in flavor it hunts me down No teeth or mark to bear These holdings seem comforting Without them I meet it Talented beyond measure My worthy adversary Fierce beard and killer smile Rebuild this citadel My flesh between your teeth Disposition numbness to your conscious Remember that moment Elegant destruction Unbecoming solitude Far from lucid This feeling creeps I know you well old friend Amber alpenglow Seemingly the earth shakes My earth is shaking My temple screams Forgive me Weary mind I straighten these vertebrae Posture Every nerve reawakens as if from a coma Snow revitalize my senses Resolute Sirens haunt me at night Enchanting melodies lick my warm skin Nightmares The call of one draws me It dissolves thy pensive My tortured sacrarium Bring me peace 7.62mm Promise me Divide the divine Bringer of judgment More Amber I cannot stop My eyes numb At last my iris' constrict Surge of conviction I will do one last thing with my power Infinite in fury One last time brimstone caresses this screen I give it to you Harbinger of sunflowers

Linda, thank you :) If I were to be completely honest, I couldn't decide what form would fit best. So I went broad spectrum.
