Rising Phoenix

Oh dark Angel
My fallen princess
Where is your pedestal?
Yes…cracked…I see now
And you?
SHATTERED
Hmm…how pretty
Gutter Glitter
My razorblade tear
Oh me?
Divine…apparently
Unbeknown to even myself
You have done much
Are you prepared?
You slayed the red dragon
Well…perhaps wounded
Fatally? Well…yes…one can hope
You threw me to the Labyrinth
Shattered yourself
Tsk, Tsk, well isn’t this messy?
No matter
One can rise again
A brilliant Phoenix
Destined to reduce the world to ashes
For creation is never without a price
How much is the relic now?
Priceless?
Like an abused rose
Torn and withered
Why so sad?
Hmm…it rains now
How appropriate
How pure
Yes…
Why the struggle for purity?
Purity is absolute…?
You would think so wouldn’t you?
Ah, but I ask you this my love
What is purity?
Good intentions?
Pure intentions?
Hell is paved with pure intentions
Innocence burned because of good intentions
Pure intentions
There is no absolute
Purity is a fable
It has driven men mad
It has set the world alight in pain in the mere search for it
If anything…
Yes, if anything purity is a perfect balance
Between dark and light
Beauty, yes, quite
For once you realize the beauty in both light and shadow
You can understand
You can gain knowledge
Both the good and the bad
And then you can rise
As a whole
But I know…acceptance can be hard
To admit that we are just as “evil” as we are “righteous”
It’s all a matter of balance isn’t it?
Animals are pure?
Because of instinct?
Animals kill indiscriminately…
And so shall we
What is Sin?
To deny who you are is Sin
Hmm…and stupidity
There is no light without shadow
There is great strength within both
And you can’t expect to rise if you can’t handle both
Forgive thine enemies and grant them gifts?
No…Crush them
Slay the dragon, which threatens to consume you
Is this not the way of instinct? Of purity?
Hmmm…no matter…
I will wait, and I will watch
For I am a watcher
And I plan to see the world burn
Oh to run my fingers through those ashes
To taste them
Creation on my tongue
Come my dear…
We have wasted too much time already
Will you join me?
How quaint
A smile?
Hmm…no…a sneer
How delightfully devious
And a shine in your eye
Determination
Let us be pure
Chaos and order in perfect union
Oh I can’t wait my Goddess
Let it begin…
