    In Days like these

    I feel like flying
    far, far, far
    until my wings melt
    to the fire of Mars.

    In days like these
    I feel like diving
    down, down, down
    until my soul touches
    the beard of Poseidon.

    In days like these
    I feel like dying
    sad, sad, sad

    "Until my wings melt to the fire of Mars" What an image that captures. All of life is this up and down, while there recall it does go up as well.

    Yeah! I love mythology (not for the lie part (myth) but for the beauty of images. Thanks

    I have been there. In days like these it is helpful to have someone to talk to or some kind of outlet to keep you mind from dwelling. I am glad you have chosen poetry, this was a nice read. I like it.

    Thanks Dennis. Sometimes its hard to find somebody to talk too. Thanks for poetry that allows you to vent out...there's always somebody on the other side.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
