The Firebird Ballads

 

Tablo reader up chevron

Introduction

These; Ballads, Sonnets, Poems, whatever you like to call verse, are written in conjunction with the Vampyres universe. I always wanted the Vampyres books to be a culture, history and world unto itself, so when the first Firebird Ballad came out of me, I KNEW it had to have a place in the books.

As you will discover in the poems (or may already know from the first 7 chapters on Tablo), "Firebird" is a new expression of an old term "Soul Mate". Just like Harry Potter has Muggles and The Lord of the Rings has Hobbits, I wanted this book series to have terms all it's own, but being the logical person I am, I like them to have a reason for being, as the saying goes 'a place for everything and everything in its place'.

The Firebird Ballads are written by a fictional character "Daniel Asher Forsythe", I would LOVE to write a bio in here about him, but I fear that would give too much away, so I will save that for later.

There are 4 Firebird Ballads thus far and every now and then another one pours out of me.

I've never been a big fan of verse, that is, I wouldn't sit down to write a poem, it only comes out at the leisure of my poetry muse and I think she's a drunk nymph, lost in a forest most of the time.

I hope you like them, always happy to hear feedback! I am the only eyes my works ever see and I can always use a fresh perspective, so PLEASE feel free to leave critique; good, bad or ugly, I'm quite sure I can use all the help I can get.

You will find the first 7 Chapters of Vampyres: The Veil here on my Tablo profile.

"Firebird"

Two souls a flame,

Twins akin,

Searching for the other.

 

Birds of the ether,

Fiery love,

Burning for eternity.

 

 

Never ending,

Torment, pain, love,

The agony of soul fire.

 

Yin to my yang,

Lost half,

Find me in this life.

 

My bird of fire,

I am endlessly drawn to you,

Find me,

Be mine once more.

"My Soul of Fire"

Hark! My soul of fire,

Come to the calling,

Of my loves burning,

Burning for my heart of fire.

 

Connected by fire,

Us birds of the ether,

We soar above the rest,

Waiting, searching a beacon to one another.

 

 

I burn for my bird,

My love of fire,

We collide,

We dance,

We war,

We love,

Endlessly drawn to the other.

 

My lonely Firebird,

I have found you once more.
