Fiery Glory
Into the currents I am swept
As the fiery glory burns
into the battlefield.
I do not see, I do not hear
Only feel as you fall.
Into,
the grey eyes of a hawk I gazed.
The very hawk
that is not true;
But is a phoenix
perched upon a burning branch.
The burning branch of glory that shone in your eyes
as you fell.
Hark, I hear the angels sing
but why, when I don't believe in
such illusions of the Human heart?
But why, when the birds singing in my ear
saw fit for your decent?
I do not belong
anywhere, but
in those pools of raging, burning eyes
inside of which a hawk that is the phoenix,
perches on a blazing, solitary branch
entangled,
in your mind and mind
which, through some miracle of clumsiness
you have broken through on whim and wager.
I want to fall into a darkness slept
Caressed by you fire.
This story was based on the Ember and Ashes series by Shadowphoenix (be careful how you spell her name; make sure its right, because there's a "shadowpheonix" as well). The pairing in her series is Harry/Snape. Its a really good series, one that discusses initimate relationships on a level deeper than just lemons and sex. I love the story, and if any of you are HP fans--please trust my judgement, this series is good. If you're only reading it for the first time, though, you'll have to catch up she's already in the fourth book of the series.
