Icarus

ok so I'm not good at writing structured poetry... so I don't if you don't like that... you can tell me or do whatever... but understand my reasoning... poetry is a window of thought... understand that and everything should become clear.

The sun cannot shine on a day like today
It will not.
Though it is not an azure summers
day and Winter's chill pales the light
of my heart.

That reason alone
Is not why I am cold.

For even in the heat of mid July
even should she chose to do so
that star cannot shine in my life.
Far too fragile are the wings
around my heart.

This is the way I am
adopting winter to numb
that pain.

But too cold and my heart will freeze.

You saved me.
Found my heart again and
took it in your embrace
and warmed it.
Melted the wings around my heart
and plunged me to this depth.

Sweet and yet it threatens to end me.

This is love and the delicate balance
it poses not chocolate or roses
but the thrill of knowing (and not)
of living every moment; praying for another.
of living every day with that star
who melts the painful wings that protect
and deny your heart.

That person with whom
you appreciate everything like...
like it's your last.
