The Phoenix Fire
/The Midas touch relinquished.
As an insignia of yore, the flow
That garnered succour wheezed
For breath. The night lingered,
With sleep vamoose the nest.
Mundane thoughts swiveled
To the frivolous; once it was
The anthem for all to upsurge.
Dustbins are placed at the
Corner, away from the crowd.
Delving deep into the self,
The tears dropped. The sigh
Heaved for the ashes. The eyes
Are opened to wallow in the glory.
The albatross veined in deep
To have deciphered the ancient
Mariner. The adrenaline disembogues
With the fire, breathing for resurrection,
Slicing the wind. The betrayal never
To be spared. Each speck had a
Story to unfurl, ascending from the ashes,
Leaving the weeds to slurp their feet,
Abashed for their deeds. The night
Has tumbled to conform to the orders,
the weeds chastised for their blunders.
