Phoenix Burning: Poetry
Double Life
The sun is out
My tie is straight
Shirt so clean and crisp
My work is great
I smell adventure
In tonight's air
Leading me to
I know not where
Back at the office
I command and control
Mingle with socialites
They think I have a soul
In the ghetto
Dark and seedy
Erotic favors
Women so needy
At home I cut grass
Enjoy the good life
Light the barbecue
Make love to my wife
Transformation
I burn like a pyre
Search the streets for
The potion I desire
New day dawns
A broken spell
Distasteful deeds?
No one can tell
Secret Sanctuary
A fleeting peace
Now I'm in hell
Why won't this cease?
Morning breaks again
The sun exposes me
The spell didn't lift
Now I know I'm not free
