Phoenix - The Offering by *Mikit-Yorinao:iconMikit-Yorinao:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open




A phoenix biting back his tears
Plucked his feathers
Plucked his fears
Laid them out upon the ground
There was his honor,
There: his will,
Save only his love
And innocence,
He kept them still.

This wide eyed, naked bird
Was a phoenix no more
His fire burned out
And lain out on the floor
"Do with them as you will."
I bit back any possible disgust
And did what I felt I must
I sewed each and every feather
Stained or pure, it didn't matter
Back upon this debased bird

Then in his eyes I saw the fire
I watched him fly,
So very much higher
I gave him wind
Upon to sail his wings
And everymore
My phoenix sings.

Arigatou, watashi no phoenix. :heart:

What's it like to have a poem that's cryptic about something you like, for once?

wow, kewl poem...is it about somebody?? or just a poem cause you felt like it? it seems like somebody laid their love and/or life (not like a death thing, but what was most important to them) on the line for you or something and you did something unexpected and gave them back more than they thought they could ever have. or sumtin.
