Icarus' Fall

Another Icarus am I, everyday attempting to fly.
Imprisoned in a Tower of Hate, I'm giving my will to Fate.
You are here with me, teaching me how to fly, though it grows late,
Instructing how to wave my arms, when flying how to keep a calm state,
I've flown about this room a thousand times over, and repeitition begins to irritate,
But repetition makes love for you soar high.

You feel as though I'm ready, fixing these wings of wax upon me,
Take flight through the Window, I'll follow and take the updraft flow,
Gliding through the air behind you, i can feel my emotions grow,
Slipping speedily along smooth air, my kisses are caught in the wind as i blow,
Blissfully bowing before your grace, my apologies always in tow,
For your happiness is something heavenly.

Confidence has finally matured, years of knowledge I've incurred,
Rising high above you to impress, to prove that i could be your best,
Elevated by wind and pride, I approach this relational crest,
The Hellish heat hinders my upward path, such a trying test,
It causes other feelings to be aroused like the rest,
Confusion in height has my heart's composition stirred.

Surprise mixed with horror, a realization pierces straight to my core,
You never warned of dangers upcoming, just instructing how to fly with this covering.
My waxy wings wander from my body, the melted wax is terribly burning.
I watch the Feathers drifting away, and my stomach is dropping,
Grasping for your grip for I'm faster falling,
I'm peering at you through the haze, I crash into blue and sink to it's floor.

you are no Daedalus
But I am Icarus.....

I loved this poem. I liked the way you described how he/she was learning to fly.

Cold hands means a warm heart
