Brigid Walshe Poems

The Best Poem Of Brigid Walshe

Chemical Icarus

Indestructible.
Indomitable.
The spirit of life shone.
Temptation dressed in friendly garb,
Stalked,
Pounced,
captured.
Stolen by foolish choice.
The child inside is lost.
Candy wrappers,
aluminium foil,
lollipops,
swollen veins.
Innocence engulfed by need.
Peace an elusive path.
A picture, a memory that never ages.
Join all the babes of our failures.
Let your spirit fly free.
Your magical wings
will never burn.
