The pheonix

When I look in your eyes, boy, I see.

The reflection of myself as an example of purity

I am untouched-

I hold the sanctified places

Where you neither come nor go-

Nor know

Of all my faces.



Of where I have been

Or of what I have seen

You may enter,

But  I am detached from your so called

Reality

And render you meaningless

To me.

As thin as sand

When I am the sea.



Crashing, and flowing

Rising, and blowing



I lift myself above the ash you make of me.

very nice! I liked this piece a lot.
very nice imagery and rhythm.
I like the meter changes works out nicely, I know meanings of poems are very personal. This one seems very personal. I can't quite grasp the full meaning and I don't really think its meant for me to.

You should feel proud of this.
