A phoenix
in the frigid planet
of paradoxes
imprisoned in
the frozen cage
of decisions
A frozen cage
mounted on
a red hot iron table
of dreams
Hot iron table
placed in
the ice cold room
of desires
The ice cold room
deep within
an ignited castle
of darkness
The ignited castle
surrounded by
snow-covered forest
of thoughts
Snow-covered forest
floating lackadaisically
in a volcanic ocean
of regrets
The volcanic ocean
screaming in silence in the frigid planet
of paradoxes
nice...i like the play back and forth between the hot and cold...makes it rather enchanting....
