Icarus by ~some-art-bum:iconsome-art-bum:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


"I'm on wings that can fly,"
               He said,
As he popped another pill.
               I'm sorry,
But I cannot trust we aren't
               Like Icarus
On a one-way course with disaster.



The sun is a goal we can aim for,
               So bright,
But it burns if you try to touch it.
               I'm sorry,
But I cannot believe it's nothing,
               And sometimes
Things are just too good to be true.



"I won't let you fall,"
               He said,
His eyes were somewhere distant.
               I'm sorry,
You're my Icarus and
               I won't
Let you drown me.

I'm in a submitting mood tonight. I wrote this at work one night when the first two lines just randomly popped into my head. The rest of it was a bit of a fight . . . but for some reason I really like this (even though I'm of the opinion it's nothing really exceptional).

Hm - well, I'm not a great judge but I like it. It flows very well, which is always important. :heart:

Yeah, I kept poking at it to make sure that it at least flowed. XD;

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I find that the best things I write are written about 75% by my subconscious . . . and by that I mean I get random lines that pop into my head like with this one.
