Love Poem: Dragon and Phoenix

Dragon and Phoenix

For better or worse
The path is laid

I've tried and I've cried
But the desire doesn't fade 

Does losing ones center
Make one whole?

I question I rail 
I confess
That I've failed

But the Dragon swallowed the Phoenix
And so ends this tale

I've loved and I've lost

It's my choice 
My tale

We pretend to be rudderless 
but the truth is

We are the wind and the sail.
