Premium Member Like a Phoenix
To live forever like the phoenix;
To re-taste the process of birth;
From the cleansing flames, to rise
Knowing death is no end;
An eternal soul
On a journey
May just find 
Supreme
Bliss.

Phoenix of Hope
Amid the white patches of that mauve gracious dusk,
I bask in an awaited dawn since I found myself from a lost world
to win over my innermost conflicts at last,
I remember the spirit that rejoiced my tattered hopes...

~~~~~~My Phoenix spirit guides me in~~~~~

That mighty river~~

 Requiem of a Phoenix 

Silhouettes and storm clouds loom, 
etched against a blackened sky
by bolts of electric blue
and ashen moon rays.
I mourn at dusk; the death of the light. 

Languid flames dance 
from tree to tree, 
as a passing of the torch
to the sacrificial...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Like the Phoenix
Promises broken
Expectations crashed
Unfairness overflowing
My mind and chest

I need a new dream
To keep me going 
I need light 
to fulfill my chest

I'm shattered now
But I'll grab my pieces
And like the Phoenix 
Reborn from the ashes

Cause i know i can
I've the strength in me
I just need this...

Phoenix
Hovering my sun scorched wings, I soar high
traversing thousands of mountain realms
In my own golden cage , an inferno blazing
my soul sizzles in orange-red yellow flames.
Flying in exalted passion, a trajectory of hope
yet when the night sky darkens, in tearful eyes
I am reduced to a...

Phoenix - Tanka
rising from my heart,
bathing in my soul's ashes,
proud of my fire...
i'm burning words with my thought,
forging new-born cries of hope......

Phoenix
strike a match.
sulfur grazes my nose.
the flames tickle
the surrounding sky.
internal screams,
questioning motives,
FIRE is born.

smoke infiltrates
my lung and throat.
coughing greets the
unwelcome visitor.

FIRE reaches out
touches my hair,
eliminating every strand.
lesions blister on my scalp,
neck, and arms.
FIRE leaving its ugly scar.

burning flesh and hair
is the aroma of the night.
FIRE...

Premium Member Dragon and Phoenix
Were it not for Dragon and Phoenix; humankind could not survive. Dragon is our courage, among other strengths. Phoenix renews us when we feel beat or near giving up on life’s challenges; when we just can’t go any further, Phoenix flies us into the flames,...

Phoenix
She is shadow on their screens
Yet it takes forever for her ghost to fade.
They cannot know her nor
give meaning to her metaphor.
She is alive and sees things clear today-
Further than planes fly,
And she hears her hoarse, new voice.
Their searchlights can't blind her 
As they chase...

Phoenix
Knowing me now, I take the central target
No matter what it seems that I am lost
I throw away what could maybe save me
I break apart when I need to stand
If I am so much to me, why must I fall down?
To over-think what comes, I’m...

The Phoenix
The days are gone 
And the place is dry 
Nothin good was done 
There's even no fly 

Dreams were totally shattered 
And silence filled the place 
All wishes were scattered 
Around the fool's face 

They came in a sheep's mask 
Pretending to be helpful 
They...
