the Phoenix

she rises  

rising from the ashes 

she is like the Phoenix

when she kneels of pain 

she is waiting for the freeze to cool her down 

it burns!

and screams again

do you see it? 

how happy and satisfied they are?

she rises 

up against Tenebrae 

she is burning

but she doesn’t fall down to ashes 

she likes the fire

she rises again

the flames embrace her 

they explode

she shines

with open arms 

she rises

burning the rest of me 

yes, they are afraid, i say 

but i am not
