Fantasy Drama Romance

Singing of sadness alone in her mind

Longing for a meaning to her life

Unable to again dance with grace and beauty aligned

Frozen in solitude pleading for warmth

In need of a flame to ignite and transform

Desperately seeking the tiniest light

Something to awaking what had once died inside

The smallest chance for the numb to reside

Rising from ash in search of a home to hide in his fortitude

All potential had become tired, withered, and broken from being used

Screaming through brilliant fire, angered at the world

Never to remember why 

He had become hidden and confined

Passing over a shadowed place, lost in his clarity

He was unknowingly drawn to a distant call in an unforeseeable melody

Intrigued he then stopped to investigate momentarily

As he approached the crystal ice silhouette clearly forsaken

Bewildered by the light of life burning inside

He began contemplating whether or not it was a risk worth taking

A hidden glow within a soul frozen in ice

He stared still intrigued at the capsized eidolon

Curiously trying to imagine how her paralysis had begun

A galaxy of emotion, so alive in her eyes

Accidentally, yet apprehensively took hold of his soul 

Realizing the panic deep within

Thoughts grew into visualizing

This was no glistening palace

This malice of madness was a solid prison!

Consumed with empathy

He sympathetically begun to melt down the walls

At last...finally she could breath

As the claustrophobia of cold slowly dissipated 

She extended a hand to touch the face of her savior

Instantly cleansed by omniscience

His eyes opened wide truly for the first time

Silently she breathed in his life

As if she were taking her first breath as a child 

Chest full of fire, drowning in desire

Locked within eyes ubiquitously prevalent 

Unable to fight morality

A perfect reflection, of desires & rejections

An identical image of personality 

Fundamentally matched forged puzzle piece

The same mental scars, wounds, and formalities

A flawless twin, from deep within

No words, no explanation

The same purpose and pride

Passion equally tied  

Both physically and visually- opposite

Yet a perfected mirrored projection of a single shared mind

A perilous fate ominous as it begins to unfold

Unknown and inevitably scribed in stone

As tensions spun out of control

They were without all hope giving in to the envy

Fighting to resist with everything in thee

Sagacious and deliberately distant

Despite all effort, effortlessly they fell

Unable to catch herself

Watching him slip as well

With no ground in sight

They fell blissfully through the days

In a daze, their luminescence lit up the night skys

Still locked in each other’s eyes

They hit the ground and invoked a quake that awoke the earth

With a newfound balance

Followed a revelation of realizations

They began to see, that it was not make-believe 

Invoked in the passion which provokes the misery

Compelled to run, yet driven to see

An abundance of lies within a pure honesty

An invention of heaven, euphoria, and intimacy 

How they both wish to be free

hypocritically to release their chains

And turn right around and surrender thy key

Uniting as one, free and unable condemn

Through troubles and sorrows

Grew an unbreakable trust

They battled a world bent against them

Healed one another scares,

And triumphed over lust

With all enemies defeated the battles all won 

 The true war of their love had but only just begun

With no one to fight and nothing to prove

A new evil was discovered

Too good to be true, became the new fuel

Stirring the fight to turn on each other 

Repressed memories became monsters and resentments uncovered  

The strongest of trust burned to ashes drenched in pain

Spitting malice & applying heavy leverage became the new game

The strongest of love washed away by storms & the rain

bittersweet misery is beckoning her name is revenge

And in the head of the madman the chaos settles

Brought to sight is clarity and epiphanies

As the madness slays remorseless devils

Daring anyone to belittle these dreams

Trust that will never rust or bust at the seams

No one can sever what glows and breathes

Blinded by the need for a dream

deliberately closing their eyes

Pretending not to see

Forsaking all principles of morality

Coincidentally, the pain of logic blasted into reality

Forcing conceded lies into lucid clarity

And elevated repressed ideologies 

Surprisingly, continents overcame raw behavior

As memories invaded and mutilated self-hatred

Such a beautiful passion souls are bathed in

Luminescent as it glistens

Clutching to his chest, trying to find his heart

Searching for her inner star

Conspicuously each one tried

To secretly reapply the bandages that had fallen behind

Anxiously watching over their surrendered battered soul

Suspiciously pondering the other's goal

So beautifully built in their own insane world of euphoria

Synchronizing and feeding off the others antipathy

Exalted in contingence, halted by demons of the past, breaking open the casket

A love, a life, a future fell at the feet of paranoia

Now roaming ever so lost at the others side

Close enough to touch, yet too far to find

Whispers of precaution are vicious and venomous to the eyes

The vortex is lost, and the ocean is dried

The star is shattered, but the need still resides

Tossed into the flames, burning in fire

The souls now returned

But are now no longer wanted

Perplexed in the disposition of trust

Cursed by a history of betrayal

Portraying a true love invalidly as an illusion of lust

Mistakenly habitually pushing away

Subconscious automatic reaction of magnetic attraction

Now turns against them

Washed out and drowning by the acid of guilt. Wishing, praying for all logic to reside

Each began begging to again be ignorant

Only to become derisive at their own minds

Seems as if to loop its way through time

She shivered as the crystals begun to form around her once more

As he withered away into the ashes 

Patiently awaiting to be reborn

So draws the storm

A deep darkness, equivalent to an apocalypse

A pause in time, as we all await the fat

A unity foreseeably to be destine

An unspoken premonition of love again

Lying dormant is the passion of the blazing phoenix and ice siren
