Catachretic Request

If I expressed all my feelings
You’d need more than a Noah’s ark
to save yourself from the flood;
If I wanted to pursue all my dreams
You’d need more than Daedalus’s pair of wings
to fly away into the skies. So, just stay.
I promise you no supernatural.
No mythology . No fable. No folklore.
Just an hour
to forget everything
about allegories and abstract metaphors.
I’ve always known we could have this
Without flying a single wing,
Without any figures of speech.

A Miracle Witness...

Ivory Wings
(inspired by and dedicated to D.)


…away from accepted borders,
riskfree itineraries and safe dreams
tormented by the toughness of your oldest tears…
I hereby cherish your fragility:
the abrupt suspense of divine trials,
imprisoned in these ancient labyrinths -
unlike Icarus …you will not be falling
as long as you are growing
your own wings.
Though
so much at home with repression
and self-exiled from fears
there will be no more hiding
and no more seeking.
Alternatives will one day live together…
inseparable, unimposed, untouched
by insecurities.
Out of this million window ivory-tower
You can either embrace the horizon
or ignore its line in the twilight…
and when the newest dawn breaks
and you are through with denials
ready for the ultimate truth - soaring so high
just like the sentinel of all tomorrows
You will still be you(th)…
