Icarus Ignited Am I

they warned me against extremes intensity must not be indulged "Flying in between is your safety scene not too high not too low don't look too longingly below don't fly too close to the sea of his splendor the blue green of his eyes hypnotize, mesmerize desire will dampen your wings weighing you down nor must you fly too close to his passion blazing bountiful in brilliance his sensuality, a searing sun will melt your wings; you'll come undone." I should have listened I should have known Icarus ignited was I My hubris lifted my higher nothing seemed dire overconfident in my ability to fly away if need be... your sensuality seduced me drew me closer and closer solar combustion on display you would have your way rays of radiant heat in wave upon wave emanated towards me doused in desire you set on fire melting melting melting burning turning twisting writhing rigorously pain and pleasure came upon waves together spiraling me out of control seared straight to my soul I fell Oh, how I fell from the apex into the swell of the blue green sea of your eyes sizzling fire subsiding subsiding awash in wetness about to die you hear me cry: "I would do it again and again and again today and any day molten passion in my core consuming, always wanting more I know you'd have me fly again... Icarus ignited right up to your sky." Eileen Manassian "In Greek mythology, Icarus is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Often depicted in art, Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris, asking that he fly neither too low nor too high, so the sea's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, when the wax in his wings melted and he fell into the sea." Wikipedia
