Burning feelings

Black red tail cockatoo

Ash

It has risen

The deep unknown

Black with fury

And darker still

Than a hole in the earth

Reaching down

Clawing at hell itself

With a starless night

Open spread

The demon soars

Taking with it the light

It follows my shadow

Picking at the warmth

Dark feeds off that hot life

That young blood

Red 

With passion

Like his eyes

Staring

Burning into my soul

His tail of fire

Colours mesmerise

Burning

I stare

Red hot air

Preventing breath

It quickens

With the dark space taken

As he rises above

For the final taking

A sudden of Red

Hot 

Hot

The enveloping 

Of his wings on my body

Hotter still

Taking still

The light

The darkness

Eyes

I close

Shut tight

From the light

The dark fire opens

Red

Black

I become

My feathers

Stuck

We are one
