Fearless

Rogue golden curls

Unfurl on my face

The kiss of the sun

On my pale cheeks

Tendrils of pain

In my wake

Arrows whizzed for my heart

Death stole my last breath

I became a ghost

Fearless

I soared above the clouds

Dreamless

No,

I will defy the blazing sun

Ride its beams

I will defy the raging seas

Wrestle with the waves

I will defy the mountains

Nest in its peaks

I will defy fate

Choose my own destiny

The Beast lies still

Heavy silence of a tomb

Mirage across the barren sea

A glimmer of tears

No end to death around me

Phantom hourglass

Setting the time

Black wisps unfurled

Smokeless fire

Sphere of light

Swallowed me whole

Wounds full of love

And the skies fall

Crucified

Yet alone

I stand fearless
