Nov 2013
Cast from Icarus peaks
You tumble from your pedestal
A fading fallen phoenix

The flowers are all crying as they drift dying
Past the cold oleanders gaudy blooms
You sleep deep in the fallen petals
Of love wrapped in barbs of good intentions

Golden chains clasped round your aching body
Binding you to the sanity of your grey entrapment  
While colors dance in dizzy spells across the gilded links
Reflected in the eyes of  blind prophets
And the gossamer bars of  existence

You dance in my darkness
Your moth wings burnt and charred
You fade my fallen angel
And all is grey
