Icarus

Icarus

Exchanging griefs

I can’t help wondering
Was that really you
Could it have been so
High
If I could answer
No
It would be easier
To accept this
Low
 
But then why
Why would you
Fain such sincerity
Knowing as you did
It could not
Last
 
Replacing
One low
For another

Lost my thought

I’ve lost it again The words were just there Right on the tip Of my mind Now they’ve descended
Still holding (though I want to let go)

Hope is so elusive It just won’t come near Hopelessness and foolishness Grasping to things that just aren’… I can’t seem to find freedom
Untitled #1

Why won’t it go away This feeling of emptiness That you left in your wake I keep hoping I will get over you It took so little to ensnare you…

The two of them sat face to face by the banks of the narrow stream smoking cigarettes, throwing stone… and dismantling

Redemption

It’s been 14 years Since we’ve spoken 14 years In which I’ve tried to Bury my regrets
The prodigal's dilemma

Too long trapped Hopeless and caged Owned and enraged I saw a way out Extinguished my apathy
Lamenting Eden

Naked and unashamed
 The garden abandoned
 Acceptance exchanged alienation in judgement alone

Letting go

Letting go Is not a choice That I can just make There are no simple steps I can mechanically perform
