Icarus flying
Mesmerising
Putting on a fine show
Although he's a sufferer
Of vertigo
Sky so blue
Artificial glue
Holds the feathers tight
Against natural winds
Illusions of flight
Luck, like weather
Doesn't last forever
Soaring higher
Glue starts melting
Like fat In the fryer
Circling the highest summit
He suddenly starts to plummet
Residue of melting glue
Stains ertsaz wings
Powder blue

Yes, Syd, the poem was quite enjoyable. The reader is able to feel every aspect of the journey you've outlined in your stanzas.
What's great is the image you included of Icarus, makes us clearly understand that false sense of security you mentioned.
Thanks for posting. 🙂
Thank you so much for reading and leaving feed Tamara. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem and image.
Take care - Syd
A forceful warning on drug-use and the fall that precedes flights to more danger - - love the chosen image Syd as it lays stress on the poem's strong phrases on false security.
Thank you so much Faye. I'm glad you like this one.
