Icarus Wept by Aidyn Smith

My muse of magical manipulation
Plays the sweet song of
A musical kiss.
She sings of tragedies unnumbered,
Her song one of her favorites,
Hated yet on endless repeat,
The beat infectious. Tantalizing.
My muse spreads her wings,
Crying
Her song to the world,
It's meaning never fully understood.
Seeing a helpless soul,
She eyes the kill, claws splayed.
On nearing her pray, her fingers reach out,
Her lips seeking acceptance where rot holds true.
She need not eye the kill nor kiss the crow.
She need only return home,
Her wings clipped by present lover's
Longing embrace.
Gravity holds them down for too long now.
Oh, to fly.
