Moth and Flame

You the animated pyre forging a lustful fire I flee from the darkness that freezes my life embracing this moment of death desire... I am endlessly drawn to you like a moth to a flame you the object of my spiraling flight your bright sun pulls me closer I burn to speak your name... Adrift in small sea of light see dark path to your remains this funereal night sum of all fears kindles as you ship like unfurl your mane flickering flaring as I draw near... Mesmerized by such blazing beauty in path of sacrifice I am caught powerless to resist calescent sexuality I immolate in the very fire that is sought burning in your flame with futile delight... Mi amor the beacon to my demise with doom the most certain end gliding towards your banshee cries my spirit will never turn craven intoxicated with love into your flame I descend... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Wow! Love and desire can lead us to our demise, sometimes, and you expressed that so well here. I love the creative metaphors of a moth mesmerized by the flame. This is a beautiful write, Ken!...Thank you very much for the kind comments.
