Icarus

Icarus

I want you

I want you
Out of my head
Out of my heart
I want your memory
To leave me be
It never was so good
As I remember it
Why is it that
A premature end
Makes a martyr?

(2014)

Self loathing

A powerful master Frequently cloaked Obscured by half truths Demands masked as duty Though there is nothing lovely in…

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

What's not to love

I love your grace Always seeing beyond The ruins left In the wake of sin I love your strength
Something; more or less

2015-01-12-22-48-02 I’m on to something new Just trying to get over you What in the world am I thinking? Was it really that much?
Tableau

You drew me too deep inside.Only to cast me away. Playing

Who Are You?

Are you the person I met? The person I fell in love with? Were you really just someone else; Trying to be what you thought I w… Are you anyone?

Over the hill

When I got over the hill the girls hooted and I skated down the fun side of the arched bridge over the river. Carving hard
Lamenting Eden

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