Long Like a moth to a flame Poems

GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEART 


From a two-room schoolhouse high on a hill over the Fundy Bay, I sat at an old wooden desk daydreaming. The ink stains and etchings which were dug deep into...

God, I’m scared
Scared to be alone
I’ve lost so much
Lost my light
Now I’m alone in the dark
So alone.
My friends try to reach me 
 I’ve fallen too far,
Still trying to stand tall,
But I’m crippled, broken, and...

Every night at a pub,
I see her, the girl with the blond hair
and blue eyes, a beauty to behold.
Her gaze draws me in,
and I can’t help but steal glances.
If you ask me what are the...

Poetry is a calling


Like a moth to a flame, I cannot tear myself away;
I must look again, to see what I was blind to see when insane.
Sanity brings clarity; my eyes are wide open.
Let it...

Slight flutters began in my stomach at the sight of you.
We talked, and their wings pulsed every time the phone chimed.
At the first date, they became out of control as they beat faster and faster,
Threatening...

We met during the war on this now famous sunny isle
Like a moth to a flame, was her infectious smile
I was in the Navy, stationed aboard an MTB
Keeping shipping lanes open, for the Mediterranean Fleet

felt the frenzied throbbing of the fumbo
and poignant melodies of the string guitar tongoli 
but through this all I heard you calling me;
and like at the...

Shall I return… oh shall I return to that house on the hill?
It's been my home for many years now – all my life.
Why do I fear everything and wish not to return?
They are not...

LAVENDER LADY
She was my lavender lady;
Standing by the lake,
Gazing across the sky-blue water
At who-knows what in the distance.
She was the very essence of elegance.
Spurning the mini-skirted fashion of the age,
Her flowing summer dress
Modestly reached mid-calf.
I...

She is the ache
That can't be ignored,
The gnawing in the night,
The knowing and the not knowing.
She is a snag that keeps unraveling,
A tug, then a pull—
The crave that is always out of touch.
You curse in...

Yesterday
 I cried  my heart out
For I wept tears of glass
To lay a path for you to walk on
Barefoot on the hot pavement
naked as I bleed
In the hopes that you won’t taste my fear
Teeming...

a story of everlasting life
granted to the lost souls
if i started counting i'd never stop
when your number is called in death's plan
frozen you become
a part of the collective unconcious to break this...

He left, with his cold eyes unseeing, 
He sauntered and strutted around the room, 
A victorious winner in his deceitful game,
He suffered no defeat, no marks to show my pain. 
It's like a vicious cycle,...

I look for you
to quench my thirst.
You are like the finest wine
I most certainly deserve.
Your fragrance and soft serenity
surrounds you like a warm glow,
and like a moth to a flame.
I am drawn to you
like a...

When I was a little girl I was told fairy tales
And I was raised to beware of the monster in a black cape
I was made to believe that evil would be so ugly
That you could...

There’s something about your personality
That’s has me quite intrigued
I try and find a thought
But it’s one I can’t conceive 

I think of you more than I actually should
I’ve developed these feelings for you
Though some still...

We are at an impasse
There's nothing I can say
at this point I think you're 
better off if I just go away

I tried to talk to you
Just to explain how I feel
I try my best to...

Your shield, pieced by the sting of betrayal,
your fears get exposed
for all to see.
And reason races through the gauntlet
of choices available;
each a dagger piercing your heart.
You woke from a dream composed of reality
defused with imagination;
whereas...
