Father and Son, Together

Valued for his mind
He was a prisoner
In a gilded cage
Daedalus needed to escape
Being bruised by the tyranny
He theorized then
That with only wings
Would they lift from the island
Aloft would they fly
In the depths of a night
Without day
Accused by the tyrant
That they now betrayed
Should they be caught
Caged lifes
Forever
Instead
Two tamed hearts
Each other's ideal
A relationship marked
By such gentleness
A father's delight
Hope without shame
Two lives in legends hallowed
Fly with me father Daedalus
You are my joy son Icarus
Let us forever rise
Find our lives
But father in Hades I wait
Walking now with the shadows
