Daughter of Icarus

In her winsomeness  
In her sadness  
she flew too close  
To the sun  
 
But something so  
Stunning, so shattering  
Was not meant to be  
Endured by flesh  
 
It scorches,burns itself out  
Leaving remnants Of obsidian embers  
And a dark,starstruck truth.  
 
Stripped of all  and  
Naked to vengeful realities  
She captures her missing piece  
It completes her  
 
Reunited,beauty and beast  
Wreck the painted sky  
And burn to an eternal  
Dance of living flame  
 
In her winsomeness  
In her sadness  
She flew too close to the sun  
But Oh! to be burnt by that beauty!
