Icarus

January 13th, 2013

His fey blue eyes

Cast in the matrix of the sky

Hair like honey

Upon the limbs of a heaven tree

I gave him wings, he flew away from me

Icarus lies at the bottom of the sea

His supernal kiss

Cold upon my lips

Brittle and tart

Then it roared and ate my heart

I gave him wings, he flew away from me?

Icarus lies at the bottom of the sea

We flew so high

We had untold riches, he and I

But we dipped so deep

Dipped so deep

And he dragged me down to depths I’ve never known

Now the die is cast

The wreckage of the past

Still, sometimes I fancy I may see

My angel over me
