Phoenix Flower
Art of love
With thorns of talons
You are the most difficult to hug
Petals that scorch
Burning through the soul
Scars in my palms
From my attempts to grasp
The pain in my heart
Reminds me of what i can not have
Phoenix Flower
Art of pain
The steam dances from you
As I stare at you in the rain
Boiling over with anger
Let me take you to a better place
Phoenix Flower
Art of death
Art of love
With thorns of talons
You are the most difficult to hug
Petals that scorch
Burning through the soul
Scars in my palms
From my attempts to grasp
The pain in my heart
Reminds me of what i can not have
Phoenix Flower
Art of pain
The steam dances from you
As I stare at you in the rain
Boiling over with anger
Let me take you to a better place
Phoenix Flower
Art of death

Wow, Nique...
this poem is so very beautiful and painful and soulful, all at the same time...
...makes me think.
