Flames of Desire

A flame is said to be a source of light 
but yet it is the reason 
the reason why theres night
but For those who 
 covet this light taints its existence 
are soon broken by  
their thirst 
a thirst of knowledge 
 of power and fame 
and slowly become a moth
engulfed in the of flame temptations                                                                                                                                                       they coveted
