Dreaming Of Icarus~ Portrait In Indigo
She seemed to be like a delicate portrait, which had fallen from its gilded frame
abandoned, lying face downward on the cold, winter  floor
An elegantly created portrait once painted in striking hues of violet, indigo blue
Her eyes told a story of bittersweet, magenta colored sorrows
that had etched themselves throughout the frail intricately, woven canvas of her soul
Over time, thoughtless hands had subtly contrived the beauty of her painted portrait
into a resemblance likened to that of a cold chiseled statue molded by calloused fingers
They ripped and tore at the tender fragments of her spirit, leaving her heart like
old, worn out material called her life
She dreamed of Icarus soaring down on steel wings, shrouded in cobalt and magenta clouds with outstretched feathery fingers, lifting her up to dance a Stravinsky ballet, as it was meant to be, not how it was
She was like a fragile, ethereal butterfly, bruised by too much of the world, leaving her unable to fly away from its thirsty skies of rain
It left her struggling to stay afloat in the spring's melting snow
Life had bruised her tender skin, gnawing away like insatiable insects on her delicate. pink frescoed soul, leaving her feeling like a plastic manikin on display, for all to pose her as they may
Muddy soil was the blood that coursed through her veins; holding her tethered heart
in fleshy, lumpy mounds of chocolate covered brown earth. It held her helplessly clogged in its dirt, descending down in spaces of her soul, like muddied strings of yellow tattered, rummaged maize, that entwined their ragged tassels through her life flowing veins, choking off the blood she needed to nourish her hungry heart
Mighty winds toppled her willowy, limber tree, snapping the delicate boughs of her arms
as it pulled at the fleshy bark of her skin. She stood cold and alone in the cold wintry night, wrapped only in her naked flesh with open, bleeding indigo wounds under the icy, mist of the cold, winter moon
Her heart and soul revealed in shades of deep, indigo blue
