Rise Of The Phoenix Poem by Kelvin Owusu
Rise Of The Phoenix
A dance of the broken
the depletion of a spiritual spark
a flame of a phoenix once constant
now never to rise
Pride misled, a thirst unable to quench
a hunger unsustained, adopted by greed
just a name, seen, preyed upon for a next meal
raped to civilization standard branch
man, spit on a gift made from a strong rib
that plants a gifted seed
A gifted seed sprouts, strong enough to walk
a connection with the rib which gave life
regained a smile, a tear dropp looking
high in the heavens, a beautiful majestic flame
from the ashes the phoenix rises again
Great poem! With a beauful flow in it and a strong last line.
It's somewhat dark to me but it seems it's about an unhappy man when his spouse had a baby he became happy. Anyway I like it.
This piece gives me much to think about. The image of a phoenix is something I need to relate to some other story or myth and your mention of the strong rib that plants a gifted seed is also something that solicits my attention. Is there reference to the Eve and Adam myth? I don't know but this poem leaves room for rich associations. Thanks.
I read and enjoyed! I have interpreted it to my satisfaction and enjoyed the challenge it gave! A great poem!
