My dear Icarus
Chappell Jan 20
You fall from grace
my dear Icarus
why must you be so
foolish.

you fly too close and you fall
with splash and then a gurgle
you sink in the blue despair
your feathers wet.

no dreams or hope
you have no flight
forever drowned in
deep blue despair.

my poor poor boy
my poor Icarus
forever lost in
his blue despair.
Just a thinking exercise I had done my friend gave me the word feathers
and so i did a poem on the greek story Icarus.  Im still learning to write poems as well so i hope its good :).

My hand in yours
Fingers intertwined
Your hand like velvet to my
cracked hand.

you are a breath of fresh air in my times of drowning
you are beauty in a world of pain.
a flower among thorns
the spring in the harsh winter.
Not my best piece lol just too tired to write good tonight  lol
