Born to chaos, disorder surrounds me
Tranquility is my companion
I lived; I died; I've done my role
I wish my heart had a soul

Rhyme what you can't say
Dismiss what you can't sway
Draw on the divine muse
Hear my heart's tunes

Ask for nothing at all
Everything is yours for the taking
Every feeling, every sigh
Destined on paper to die

I write to be heard, I write to express
I live to rhyme, even under stress
I die to rejuvenate
Phoenix: my fate

Born for fire
Lived for a soul
Fought for justice
Earned the fall

I'm a slave with no master
I'm a bell with no toll
An arrow destined to miss
A crucifix without a pole

Shrouded with flame
Upraised for soullessness
Crowned by a malevolent creed
Awed for infernal rage

Veiled by shame
Usurped for greatness
Chosen for unseen greed
Life, is my cage

Reincarnation foretold
Putrefaction avoided
Eyes, wings of fiery gold
Black heart molded

Gilded figurine
An empty shell
Belle sequin
Intention of fell

Purification of heart
Baptized through fire
Soul and body apart
I begin to tire

Over and over
Life, death and life anew
I wish to cower
Where? I wish I knew

Phoenix is my part
Reborn is my heart
Soul long dead
Life - by fire fed

Fueled by a notion
Immortality as a penance
An existence ever secluded
Because of love eluded

Sacrificed for love's sake
Revived for passion eternal
Forsaken to walk forlorn
Alive, yet unborn

Vantage over mortal life
Yet so alone
A feeling of utter strife
Mine, my own

No one to share grief
I tremble like a leaf
I stretch my hand
And touch but sand

A trifle of emotion caused so much pain
Nothing was to lose, yet uncertain was the gain
In this lewd sensation, this inhumane game
Passion, fondness, love: the same!

I evoke memories of past time
When my heart was not rime
When love was not a crime
When every gaze was a chime

Where are my long dead friends?
Why do I must suffer these ends?
My aura rebukes what death sends
Godhood its prowess lends

I wish to die, to end this misery
I cannot live alone. It is too eerie
I need a friend. Some one to heed me
Someone who will not fear me
