Phoenix

A poem about life and love.

 

Hear the wail,

In the night,

Of love gone,

Endless strife.

 

Demons dance,

While angels sing,

Evil bodies sway,

Heaven’s chorus rings.

 

The moment is here,

The time is now,

Answers I seek,

Never to be found.

 

Time stands still,

The angels hush,

Even demons of hell,

Reign in their lust.

 

The love I felt,

I cannot describe,

She took my heart,

She gave me life.

 

Like a phoenix,

Born of flame,

She lifted me up,

Turned night to day.

 

Now here I kneel,

A moment too late,

As crimson blood spills,

From her open veins.

I think it's interesting that there are so few words in each line, each stanza- yet there is so much meaning. Nice job.
