The Sun That Icarus Desired

You are the tide of my ocean

May I never escape your gravity

That’s deeply entangled in my sanity

With your love my Icarus wings grew

You stole the gravitational pull of the moon

But like Icarus, too close I came,

And now, I plummet in sorrow’s flame

I hope to be surrounded

And cornered by your existence

Let love leave me dumbfounded

As you take over my systems

I would burn down a village

If it is meant to keep you warm

I would fight in Achille’s armor

If it meant to keep you away from war

You are the silence that falls

Between every heartbeat of mine

It is when my heart is at rest

With your love, it chimes

My love, if I ever lose you one day

The universe will have to ask for my repentance  

For what would be done

The mosaic of my humanity’s remains would chip away

And will exist as only the fossil of our love
