PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Catapult into the great unknown

Twist around the burning sun

My cold heart adsorbs the warmth

And, decorates with melting memory

Like specks of glitter and gold

Dropping crumbs along the path from which I came

Just to know how far and from where I’ve come



I could explain it better

This I know

But, through my chainmail and thrown away letters

Somehow I forgot to stow

Words, like weapons, stockpiled and ready to load



Just like raindrops dripping from a gutter’s holes

My wings had no chance of holding

Mine, like Icarus’s, attempt to touch the sun

Or, to follow where you’d go

So, I just catapulted into the great unknown

And, tried my best to bear my love before falling back down

To the cold, cold, unforgiving ground



I could explain it better

This I know

But, through my carefully sealed and thrown away letters

Somehow I forgot to stow

Words, like wax, to explain the meaning behind the specks of glitter and gold
