Flight of the Phoenix
You glow with the essence of a Phoenix...
but oh how hard it is to view
such a beautiful bird soar so frightfully high
Achieving the crest of blissful ascent
only to crash and burn into embers of charred coals
It's painful to see that scene in your poetry
repeating episodes on ME TV
but I can only imagine how he feels
being trapped inside his Twilight Zone
the co-star of your surreal final reel
wanting to save you from the climactic fate
Without feathers of his own to take flight by your side
A broken angel unable to follow where fallen angels fell
Yet feel the blazing heat of your burning desire
destroyed by a predictable script that begins in ash
and ends in brimstone's fire
(for Kitty, because it is the desire of every guardian angel
to rescue beauty from believing you can't change fate...) jj
