       Tiny phoenix of my breast
Whose healing tears in cycle come
       Blazing sobs, and ashes rest
As stars to days and back succumb

       So you rise and fall in me
The victim of my fated birth
       Made to bend to pow'r of she
Which compromise my soul to earth

       And back again, beyond
Constraining logic, or the truth
       Found in reason's cloying bond
Which decays a blinded tooth

       Wounded creature, hold your pain
And find a way to moderate
       I fear sometimes I go insane
How can I possibly placate

       The inflamed sorrows of this heart
       It so unwillingly will part?

Author's Comments

I'm in this British Lit class, and we're studying a lot of classical literature, specifically from the mid 1600s. There's one poem that goes with a picture of an emblem in our textbook, called The Phoenix. This was conceived from that in class today. Decided I wanted to do a more formal poem. See if you can catch the rhythm of the lines :D

I do at that, and I'd been feeling the need for working on a rhyming piece. Every so often I gotta dive into formal poetry ^_^ Thanks much, I'm glad you liked this piece so much!
