THE PHOENIX & THE CROW

THE CROW

Who Am I
I once the dove
No longer
Once the soul symbol of love, peace, and serenity to all
No longer
Betrayal, Death, Failure
What began this?
Scarred memory
Bruised aspiration
Skin once whitened darkened by the demise of self
Feathers once smooth ruffled by the darkness's consistence
Soul a fade, disclaimed
That all which is mine
Who am I?
I am victim of incident
Who am I?
I am spawn of hatred
Lifeless
I am death living
For every breath
A tear
Shadows where I lay
Distance exploited to all
Rebel I am not
Sympathetic to others all the while mourning the loss of self
Resentment, my insight within
Why you ask?
I am consumed!
I am the Crow


THE PHOENIX

Who am I?
I once the crow
No longer
Once the heir
to darkness
to the fallen
No longer
Once villainous portraying heroism
No longer
Turmoil's enlightenment began this
An insight divine
Skin once darkened
Feathers once ruffled
My anatomy set a blaze in it's entirety
A spontaneous combustion of
renaissance
Casted upon a weary candle
Once my being
Dim, a fading flame
My soul confined to a secret hollow
Relit
Who am I?
I am in this trilogy of beings the final
Who am I?
I am you
The dove
What you may be
The crow
What you may become
Me
Ashes of my past for I have lingered, maimed, I remained
Ignited
An eclipse, Illuminating flames
For I have risen from the ashes to the sky
For I have failed failure
Defeating defeat
I am successor of unfaithful success
In what seemingly may be destiny beyond the opposition's
Soaring through the skies of sorrow seeking retribution
Optimistic who may have
spoke the words
Burning bridges may be rebuilt
Dare not to put into fine print
Haha for intent of vengeance
I beg to differ
My purpose without intention will disprove such an opinionated fallacy
Your Oracle, Your means of protégée
Who I am not
Who I am not
Incognito
their alter egos (The dove, The crow)
For I am the phoenix
