Stormy

Stormy

Branch,

Broken...

Teetering

In relentless

Winds.

Icarus

Icarus

I

Beheld

A goddess;

An impassioned

Starlit dreamer with

Wonder in her smile

And doe-eyes shining sadly

As she stood upon trembling legs,

Heaving the world upon her shoulders.

I longed to help carry her weight

But she was the burning sun,

And drawing swiftly near,

I courted my doom

On failed wings, with

Nowhere to

Go but

Down.

Cold Sweats

Cold Sweats

Awoken.. sweating;

Wiping pennies from my eyes,

I hear their hopeless whispers…

The wallowing damned,

Scratching from shadowed corners….

Why won’t they let me slumber?
