WHITE PHOENIX

You burn my eyes
Channeling Apollo’s light
You energize and mesmerize
You prophesize and tantalize

This is my ritual
I come to the river and I write
The water pulsates with electricity
Fueling amplification of our sun’s light

I am entranced by your body
Captivated by your tattoos
They transcribe your psyche
Sacred rebel and vessel for truth

You are the white phoenix
Rising from an inferno of love and rage
Your fire is white
Pregnant with the full color spectrum
You vanquish the demons of guilt and shame

I explore your image
Through the prism of this water
I imagine you arising from the deep
I watch you light your cigarette
I watch you inhale finding release

There is a light show in this river
Rivaling the energy of the dance floor
I imagine you dancing to these hard house anthems
You leave me wired wanting more

This is a sacrilegious revelation
It is an amplification of tantric fire
White phoenix–Apollo incarnate
You are a potent angel of desire
