Phoenix Aflame

Darkness begins in a pit

burning so fast at long last

I have never, ever found a home.

Will you leave me dying alone

Will you bleed with me eternally

as my nose turns toward the wind

on my way to the repeat return

Wincing I will always burn.

Until my Spirit ascends

flesh-scorch brings The Phoenix

Scorpions are welcomed contenders

candle wicks melting waxy Moons.

In Arabic, Ayesha means Life--I am Woman--of Poetry, Poetic Prose, Photography, and the Creation of All of My Dreams, all of which end in Artistry. I have often been referred to as Enigmatic and Magnetic, but also Selfless ("to a fault"). Some call me an "m-path" because I am highly compassionate. I sincerely hope that you enjoy all that I have to offer. Thank you for taking the time to Read Me. I am Proud. I am Ayesha. With Love, Ayesha R. Gill عايشة رامازاً جل
