hawk head was my jeweled intentions,
flying into the sun like Osiris,
all the colorized failure
it no longer wore the wings seen,
wax melting, falling like
synthesized willow leaves
feathers involving me in somber
defying my reflection
through placid lakes,
clubbed feet trudging
miles
just to see beauty again,
pertaining to us
behind the coded danger,
red and blazing in her eyes;
eyes of a hawk
protecting her own,
reprimanding love
seems time is always behind,
with me one step more
everlasting, outlasting
forever with you

"2 Options + Osiris!"
I dunno why, but that part of your AN cracked me up.
"hawk head was my jeweled intentions,"
This is cool, but I don't think 'was' is the right word. Maybe something that pertains to hawks/birds more...like 'flew my jeweled intentions' or something to that effect. Just an idea.
"it no longer wore the wings seen,
wax melting, falling like
synthesized willow leaves
feathers involving me in somber"
I just really like these lines..."synthesized willow leaves" sounds GORGEOUS. "it no longer wore the wings seen," has this really deep feel.
"through placid lakes,
clubbed feet trudging
miles"
Really nice.
"behind the coded danger,
red and blazing in her eyes;
eyes of a hawk
protecting her own,
reprimanding love"
"coded danger"<--The Matrix comes to mind...I guess it's just the word 'coded'.
Oh yeah, I like that hawks are actually a focal point in your poem, & not just a brief mention!
"seems time is always behind,"
Isn't that the truth...sometimes.
Thanks for entering (: (:
