Refined

In rising flame

Electricity crackles within me

As I writhe, scintillating and stark

Sparks r u s h over my body

Flames Consume all

Flesh, soul, and thought

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

I tried desperately to control it

Suffocating the breath of my heart

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

Every contemplation

Each leaping motion

Riles and stokes

Shining, a beacon

Heat sends me popping and whizzing

To the edge of sheer cliffs of doubt

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

Igniting my crystalline core

Tortion begins at

Toes of burnished gold

Waving undulations ripple

Across my glowing form

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

Rolling down joint to joint

On tiles slick

And shockingly cold

Radiation blasts

Energy building

Heat shimmer billows

Interior melting

Smelting removes

Impurities

Dispersed into the atmosphere

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

My incandescent soul

Recycling

Liquefying from the bottom up

An inverted taper

Flaring, softening

Fuels beading

Each falls with a

Leisurely

D

R

I

P

The past evaporated

Fuming noxiously

Flashing

Metallic blue and green

I fly on wings ablaze with purpose

A raging inferno

Dancing ribbons of light

Ring and enwrap

Neurons flicker

Combusting wings flap

A golden phoenix in flight

Nothing left of the life

I once knew

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

Ascension to heaven commence

Swirling updrafts

Convey flames in massive breaths

Coruscating with hope

Joy enraptures my fiery heart

Spreading, a s h o c k w a v e

In the sizzling dark

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

All corporeal matter

Sparks instantaneously to life

Incinerating

Ash like petals

Floats eerily up

Drawn into the infinite black

πŸ’₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’₯

Serendipity takes tight hold

A vice grip on my ancient molten soul

Reborn in agony one time too many

I'm called home to the

Depths of the

Burning Solstice Star
