To go after what one desires the most, often tears the salty
eyes. This lament which Icarus sings brings forth his waxen wings.
Refrain then from passions desired great, prey emotions to
predatory fate.
The Poem
Icarus's
Lament
Modesty is the bane of gentlemen,
lesser are concessions and judged the actions
Let not tender affections deepen,
in prickly thorns of persuasion.
What
mortal's not to do but feel
and
to guillotine his character seal
and
when the eyes of the crowd judge and scorn
broken
is the heart and into pieces torn
oh..! how good, better and best are wastrels
in debauchery and cunningness, they revel
to the crowd, they mock and take what they desire.
when the goodness of gentlemen bonfires
Many a stoic, wise,
and intelligent
To
its beauty, and brains compliment
bemused
and bewildered by the attention
refrains
to notice, the artistic expression
and of time, raptured mind, the value lost
such is the battle and its cost
to dwell in the heart's dark abyss
a lamenting soul, torn piece by piece
Icarus,
who adored what many desire
he
worshipped and with love filled his heart entire
the
only mistake in Icarus's passion
He
thought he could fly too close to the sun.
