Notes About The Poem

Boldly, He Came Closer

He flew to my warmth; moth to a flame
But I tamed the flames of my fire
when I felt the heat of his fingertips
Boldly, he came closer to kiss my lips
and his touch became the heat of desire

For a death, this moth was not to blame

Where there's a spark, there's a fire, when it turns to desire things can get dire. Very engaging poetry, Lin. I could feel the passion. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Thanks for the great poem. Relationships can be difficult. You may want to stick with the pet moth.

Death by passion. If you have to go, it would be worth it to die that way. Thanks, Danny ;-)
