Icarus Aug 2013
Sky
The colours keep me captive

Hazel,

Popular,
The beauty everyone can see,
Not hidden,
But not apparent,
Relaxed and calm.

Blue,

Compassion and honesty,
Often seen but so remarkable,
Deep and enchanting,
Forever catching your eye,
So deep and pensive
capture me with an uncontrolable desire.

Green,

Astonishing,
Rare and forever thinking,
Smart, cunning and malicious,
Plotting and scheming,
Dragging me into a better world.
Where the Sky meets the sea,
Am I dead? Am I alive?
I see the green flash and I am afraid,
In a good way,
In a bad way,

Red,

The brightness blinds me,
Its like a wildfire,
Everywhere,
There is no escape from it,
Its ferocious but calming,
Your eye cannot be drawn away,
The apocalypse of my being,
burning my ship,
leaving me alone.

But from the ash I shall be born a new. Better. Faster. Stronger. Smarter.

I shall take to the sky.

They have a hold over me. I love it. I hate it. I am afraid of it. I wait for it.



*I can feel your pulse in the pages, you'll live with me through the ages.
