icarus

her love lifted me to the Sun,
The heart-break moulted my wings,
i crashland into a sea of despair.

Icarus flew too close to the sun, not to angelic heights.
It spoils such a short poem.

You could have saved Icarus from falling, I read both the original and the edited piece and as Jess says it is the second version that s true to myth.
Yet another picture of heartbreak, we build things up and sometimes have to be there when they come crashing down.
The way is eternal, a good write!

Thanks to everyone who commented and I am sorry for not replying on time, I've been busy. So I should go with the second version right?
