Burnt
Words can sting
Like a sunburn that never fades.
You were the sun,
And like Icarus
I flew too close.
My wings
Burned,
and I fell to the Earth....

Who had a moustache so ridicarus
It ran down to his knees
and was riddled with fleas
Oh, what a ridacarus Icarus...

Icarus
We all know of Icarus,
The one with bee's wax for wings,
Who fell into the ocean,
Never to be seen.
But everyone forgets,
Icarus also flew,
Higher than anyone dared to....

Icarus
If a skylark flies ten thousand
feet
above the uncaring world
Has not that lark ten thousand
feet,
faster with every whirl,
To fall
and smash in pieces on the
ground....

To Close To This Flame
The rice paper-moth
Still drawn in,
By this orange flame
The dance become the trance
Your wings
Are not made of wax, but
Made of rice paper
Remember, Icarus and Daedalus
Do not fly too close to the sun...

Icarus
an image floating in ruby red
Vulcanic skies reflecting
this mesmerizing elixer
the aroma of your spirit
Crescent echo
hangs infinite
Blue
We are lapis lazuli
branches of the same tree
Wind grows her silken hair
around us...

Pale Rider
"Pale Rider"
on the back of pale wings
spread wide the notion
life melts into
Icarus
a small death
never felt so sweet
two worlds
briefly meet
rising
falling
vibrations
eclipsed

Given To Fly
Given to fly
But will these wings
Carry me home
My head is above ground
But only for a moment
I'm given to fly
As long as I don't get too close
To the sun
Just as Icarus plunged into the sea
So have I
But an untimely death
I have yet to meet...

I Am Icarus In My Dreams
I am Icarus, without wings ...
unhurried,
certainly...
and I am just eager ,
to fly...
I'm tired of these roots
of concrete !
and these feet
of lead ...
Cosmogony
Designed to me !...

Icarus
Go
Son
Take flight
Icarus~
Be daring be brave
But most of all be vigilant
Unfurl your wings fan out and soar to independence
Navigate your odyssey with perseverance~ go forth and don't look back, Icarus

Fate of Icarus
He flew
Close to the sun
Down he came with a thud
Failed to heed the word of the wise
Burnt wings

Christmas
Curling through the air,
Hopping along at mach speed,
Roving down your youth,
Icarus-like, a collision into stockings,
Smacking lips under mistletoe,
Teeming with joy.
Make believe one more time.
Alleluia, and all that stuff.
Santa and Christ are peering, befuddled and amused....

Icarus and the Sun
Every day and night
I sit within my tower.
The sun scorching with all its might
Waiting to melt me and drag me lower.
The dream to escape my confinement
Avoiding the Sun’s wrath to make me trip.
I still have to fulfil the requirements
To break free of the haters’ grip....

Soul of Icarus
I have
so many fantasies
that I don't even conceive from
what world i am
alive...!
I live so free
that I don't understand
where do i come...
and I don't even feel
I am walking
or flying... !
it's my winged heart...!
he does fly high
plus higher
than the birds...!...
