Phoenix Immortal

Mass of red and gold plumage blood of supreme incessant immortality flows within Only I alone can reign stronger a fortiori than the army of any man or beast Symbolic of Christ, ressurection, afterlife In death redeemed consumed by fire only to be born again of ashes I will rise up again! Injured from mortals wars I simply ameliorate and regenerate I am fire and divinty Continually watching the irresolute ever changing, dynamic world around me In despair I scrutinize and contemplate as all things moral are taken from me periodically and adinfinitum lost ever and again Armys of mortals have chased my blood for an age in want of my immortality Whilst they wrangle with continual want and I would content for less I have met no immortal contender my glorification to you either unobtainable or a terrible curse As a deity I serve this planet in all my supremacy for I will foresee you all Authors note This piece was originally written as a two part collaborative effort with poet Kathleen C. Mannon, otherwise known by pen name kkatie55 . The prompt we were given to write to for contest was Mortal vs. Immortal in September of 2007, a month after I first started writing I believe. To begin with we both took our ideas and wrote individually then bringing our ideas together and changing slightly to fit from there… I tried to write so this would stand alone too, and have only just decided to bring it out to share for opinion. To see the write with the omitted verses written by the other poet, please feel free to go view at this link where each poet has initialled over their respective stanzas/verses. http://allpoetry.com/poem/3404940 Thankyou for your trouble in reading this explanation, but I do not wish to discredit its original intention nor take anything away from the other poet by placing this half here. I hope you shall be excited about reading it in full…
