Icarus

Icarus

Battle worn

The battle rages on
Leaves me weary
Restless and weak
But at
This moment
I am left
To decide
Am I one
Engaged
In the tumult?
Or Am I
The ground of contention?

(2015)

Naked and unashamed
 The garden abandoned

You made me young

Banquet

I want to have it all A full meal with all the flavors Of the single morsel You fed me
The catalyst

How was it possible? Why on earth Did it never happen Before? How did you change
Your Integrity holds me

It has never changed My heart’s inclination. I am still drawn to you. Having known you I cannot see you
