True Love

No means to entice I try
Neither fret nor cry

Like a moth in crazy passion
On the candle of love I die

Cute one...Got a chuckle..You may not have meant it as such but I know that many get involved with someone and are so wrapped up in them that they like the moth in crazy passion..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..Thanks for the kind review of my work..Many are going to cremation here for the price of a funeral, burial plot, and the cost a marker for the grave is very expensive.More people in the past had no means to mark their loved ones grave because people were very poor...Sara

Thank you for your kind words. The "candle" is burning bright around the globe. Sometimes however it is hard as anything to see the flame. Nice poem. Yours Matthew Anish
