Description
PhoenixAs my soul rises from the ashes
Of my broken-down life
Poachers start a blaze to bring it down again
But, what use could fire have against
Something of the same element?
My soul spreads its wings
But, does not take flight
Rather, it wraps its wings
Around an injured Silver Dove
Protecting it from Scavengers
My soul takes in the fire
Fueling my rage toward the Leeches
And using it to pass judgment
On this beautiful Dove
And revive its own soul
The Snakes bite at my wings
Trying to poison the Dove
But, with one swipe of my wings
The Heathens retreat to their holes
For fear of getting burned
My soul picks up the Dove
Holding it close to my heart
And helping it to recover
The way it helped me
And embracing each other
The Silver Dove wraps its own wings
Around my heart to keep it safe
This Dove is my soul’s Savior
The spark of my revival
My Love...

I didn't get the full effect of it, I wouldn't have even assumed it was religious if not for the comments.
I did really enjoy it though, and considered it a love poem.

I just threw that in for the people who might have mistaked it for a religious poem, I wasn't sure if people would make that mistake or not. Glad you enjoyed it.

well bro, I am totally honored that you would refer to me in such a way. You have it pretty close to right, except that Christ is not our judge, he is our advocate. The father is our judge, and in the end he does not so much pass judgement as give us what we wanted. I know that sounds twisted, but the truth is we are all given the opportunity in this life to choose- therefor, if we choose life without Christ we recieve hell. Not God's punishment so much as his inability to tamper with our will. Sounds f*cked right? Well, perhaps I shall work on finding a better way to explain it. I love the poem though. And the bible does say that we are to judge men and Angels, so we'd better get over our hate of judgement now, eh! lol

That was just the way I understood it while growing up.

You know? I noticed God got a whole lot nicer when I grew up and he wasn't damning me to hell for stealing cookies from the cookie jar anymore. Lol!

That was probably a scare tactic from your parents. My mom tried that a couple times, but stopped when she realized that I knew she was lying.

Well you used the religious metaphors nicely. The poem is great. I love your use of metaphors. Some people take them over the top, but you don't. It's good.
