Icarus and the Sun
Jairus Perez Jul 2017
This page. This ink. This delicate thought.
This loud secret. This mind. This heart.
Your warm words. Your glistening smile.
Like sun, lit up my world.
They were so bright, I was burned.

My philosophy. My gaze. My wandering eyes.
My adventurous shadow. And my crazy mind.
I caressed your smooth soul under the moonlight.
It was so fine, yet bittersweet.
Like a diamond in a rough,
you cut me like fresh young love.

Your warm words. Your glistening smile.
Smelled like hot coffee that drives me out of my mind.
I was so eager to start the conversation and take a sip.
Yet you burned my hopeless romantic lip.

Your words. Your smile. Radiant like the sun.
They were beautiful, and they still are.
Your words. Your smile. Like a hug from a rose.
Painful, but it was worthwhile.
