Phoenix Eyes
In a world full of weight
The floating mind hibernates
Behind eyelids that twitch
With a fevered restless wish
Behind a wall of saline
Xanax gasoline
Awaiting to be liberated
From eyelash cages
Rising from the ashes
Both in harmony as one
Demons in the sun
Clinging to the stages
Of lines and pages
Understanding the unseen
And the in between
Scorched messages sent
Helping the mind bend
As they return home
Never flying alone
In unity and symmetry
Towards a flesh cemetery
Sleepy eyelids blink
Absorbing the smoke ink
Inside arsonist caves
Fighting to be revived
To become divine

Author's Note
I once got a comment that had the phrase
" Your eyes are birds"
Just had in the back of my mind and had
to write something.
Yes - shout out to Styxian. LOL
Writing while listening to
Lana Del Ray - I can fly (on soundtrack Big Eyes)
&
Unaloon - Codependency

Hi Nik:)
So honored you loved that line.
Was trying to find a phrase that contributed to that feeling
when your eyes burn. Like when you read too much
and refuse to quit reading till your eyes start to water.
It's my favorite line too:)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting:)

Well hello PS!!
What a great comment you just dropped on my page:)
Thank you so much!!!
Have you seen the movie Big Eyes? It was a Tim Burton film that tells the true story of a bizarre art fraud case in 1960s America.
Loved it!!!

Hey Tim:)
Totally agree!!! Eyes - the gateway to the soul which I guess
is basically like a phoenix if you believe in reincarnation. Just
takes a little longer:)

Hi SMS
So glad you enjoyed this.
Sometimes when I hear a certain phrase the visions just
flow and fly right in. Other times is takes work.
This one flew:)
Thanks for the RL and comment.
