Phoenix

Phoenix, Long Awaited, Love.

Hurtled voices, distant in wind

Echo

Love

Scream

Amber ridden infinite descendant

Magnificent Phoenix of the Arabian desert

Heavy as nightmares

Limited

Realizing you're unable to manipulate nature,

She unfolds at her will

Subtle sentiment

Indigenous

Sometimes sunsets masquerade as still images of Reine Sea refracting town lights and Hell Peak

Or Deep Bay, Canada.

Comes flooding,

Though debris remains, it recedes in days

Temporary

When love's lost, it isn't immediate,

Delayed, it's late,

Scents,

Comets infiltrating Jupiter's atmosphere and breaks apart

The rainbow that could never stretch too far

I'd assume my mind will placidly drift to either place

Peace make and assured patience, 

Indeed it waits,

For love's return.

Your poem is an exquisite explosion of feelings, words, imagery, streaming non-stop and leaving me breathless. Primal, electric image of the Phoenix impacts the eyes."Magnificent Phoenix of the Arabian Desert...heavy as nightmares"-transcendent metaphor. What manner of love is this that so incites?-"She unfolds at her will..subtle sentiment..indigenous". Powerful, Master-Class work.

I believe fear, optimism, exhaustion, patience, and desire find a path to collide and erupt. Can't thank you enough for the kind words, Annette. Extraordinarily gracious!
