Poem -
Icarus (Powder Blue)
Like 4 Pin it 0Icarus flyingΒ
Mesmerising
Putting on a fine show
Although he's a suffererΒ
Of vertigoΒ
Sky so blue
Artificial glue
Holds the feathers tight
Against natural winds
Illusions of flightLuck, like weatherΒ
Doesn't last foreverΒ
Soaring higher
Glue starts melting
Like fatΒ In the fryerΒ
Β
Circling the highest summit
He suddenly starts to plummetΒ
Residue of melting glueΒ
Stains ertsaz wings
Powder blue

Yes many happy memories and a few sad. As is the lot of many.
Oh yeah! I love this Syd! Very cool abstract verse! Nice one βΊ
Cheers John. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I'm definitely becoming more abstract. Thanks for stopping by.

My Dear Syd,
What a powerful write, using Icarus as a metaphor, for people so high on drugs, who eventually, come crashing back down.
I think you should submit it to NA.
Peace and Love,

Hi Larry, I never thought of that. What a great idea.
Take care - Syd xxxΒ
