outward splendour
diminishes without
regular cleansing of
the layers residing within you

the longing to wander

somewhere in the forests of South India

#roadtrip

no warning of what was to come
when my phoenix finally burst from the ashes
soaring in her red-tipped winged glory
it was not enough to burn and soar once
more battles awaited, more blood to be shed,
more of me to be burnt, more heights to soar
