body div#devskin0 hr { }
I wanted wings
To wrap me gently
In such a wondrously beautiful embrace
Amongst the stars and angels
So I delicately ripped flight
From the butterflies surrounding my window
In the hopes they could fly me away.
I wanted to feel loved
To feel the doting heat
Of a lovers breath on my neck
And grasp on my heart
So I kissed the sun
And held it ever so gently
Against my breast till
It burned me away
And I could reminisce in its loving burn.
I wanted to be whole
Without flaw
Without ugly bones to trap my soul
Without a life
So desperately wanting
Everything it could never have or be
So I embraced the seas
Submerged my entirety
My being
Letting its infinity
Consume
All that would be left of me,
Till I could only
Wash among its waves
As apart of the water.
I wanted to feel alive
So I cut a thin line
And I grasped my own life
So I could feel every moment
Of it slipping away.

You know what? I really thought that this poem was about Icarus! Do you know the myth?
He was given wax wings but he flew too close to the sun and they melt. Thus he fell in the sea and died.
Beautiful, though, really well done!

I love this so much. This inspire me to write much more lighter and beautiful tones rather than dark depressing. Really envy those who can capture the beauty with easy and pleasant words. Dark, depressing, soul wrecking is kinda like my usual cup.

If you haven't attempted independent publishing you should. I'd love to see you in print

This is absolutely amazing! I couldn't believe that you just wrote this on the fly, without an idea - because while my best ideas are normally from random free writing, I normally have some idea of what the poem is about or what I want it to be about. Towards the end, I thought that the "So I cut a thin line/And I grasped my own life/So I could feel every moment/Of it slipping away." was supposed to be something about cutting - "cut a thin line", "grasped my own life", etc. Like he/she wanted some control over her life, and so they cut, and feel every moment slipping away as the blood drained out. I don't know. Maybe it's just me overthinking. I tend to do that. "^~^
