like a moth to a flame, he will return

breath by breath in mind-body urn
swathed in bliss magnetism warm
touched by God we magically transform...

forever wondering why

Never knowing what but only where
—our destiny on fire

My obsession.. like moth to a flame
This love for him will never cease
We've said, 'what will be, will be'
Dreams do die, but once
Their ashes tell truths
Always alive 
In my soul
Breathing
Him...

Said I love you...
like a moth to a flame. 
You're no good for me...
but I'm the one to blame!
Standing beside you...
cause I've never felt this way...
under the starlight...
where the moon knows my name!...

I AM DRIFTING 
LIKE A GHOST
HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND
SHIMMERING
IN THE TWILIGHT  
A COLD WIND
BLOWS THROUGH ME
I AM SEARCHING 
FOR YOUR LIGHT
A MOTH TO A FLAME
BEYOND THIS PLACE
BEYOND MYSELF
AWAY FROM SOLITUDE....

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

In a room, I am 
constantly aware of you. 
When you laugh, or move, 
something base inside me 
is attuned to your being. 

Your magnetism. 
Drawn like a moth to the flame, 
my compass spins to 
point my senses your way. 
Your aura is my true north....

come closer to my fire
let me warm you
like a moth to a flame
let me entice
for a little while
let your mind rest
let your body relax
let everything else go
to another place
when you first saw my face
that deep embrace
that forgotten taste...

There’s a zone beyond safety
  where the timid can’t go

Beyond reasoned decision
  intuition to flow

Past valor and triumph
  past glory and fame

There’s a zone beyond safety
 —last moth to the flame

All you can see is red smoke
The moth of the flame raging inside
Blood is mixed with a smoking ember
That burns through ignition lighting up
Feel the wrath if you want to
And face death through a senseless act
Embrace wrath’s flame burning man to dust...

Maybe it’s really a smile, 
even the sky is lit up;
Transforming the world with joy,
attracted like a moth to your flame;
Possessed by the stormy spectacle 
hail beats a cracked pavement wild; 
Outrageous loud enthusiasm 
rains with the rawness of happiness....

Like a moth to the flame,
I long for the pain.
Just to feel...real.
As many times as I'm seared,
I just keep coming back.
Broken and scarred past all redemption,
There is no salvation for the damned...
Falling deeper into my tortured soul,
The pain burns so good......

She used to wear 
tasty strawberry gloss lipstick
on her soft warm tender lips
and sometimes Canada dry
for me to sip
It lured me like a moth to a flame
But even without
her sweet kisses drove me insane
Trying to quench the unquenchable thirst
of hearts desire.

Emotion & feelings,active, no longer passing fads of intervening years. A latter day passion,now fading from view along the different path I now stride. Hastened by love,poignant,as a moth to a flame to paraphrase a truth. Willing to take a risk,each aspect leaves its mark as sunlight upon the mundane....

My attention caught
From across the room I glance
Her alluring eyes

I walk in capture
I'm like a moth to a flame
Drawn by her brown orbs

In vision tranced
Pupils of life attracted
Absorbed by her looks

Like a moth to a flame
I abode in thee
I pray to the Lord
Religiously
With reverence in my heart
And fulfillment in my dreams'
I make continuance
Of wonderment
It's a blessing for me'
Though you comfort my
Heart and console my
Very Soul
It's that voice of approval
That which keep's me whole

we burn with bliss
at the Bindu chakra
entwined with third eye

drawn like a moth to the flame
no meanings are assigned
as we are consumed
in the cosmic fire

the words we pen
are in truth unnecessary 
as we so chronicle the process
which is unique for each soul
like streams joining a river
guided by hand of God...

ENSNARED BY A TEMPTRESS,
YOU PAY THE PRICE,
YOU PLAY WITH YOUR LIFE,
LIKE A GAMBLER DOES HIS DICE,
PULLED ON BY A NEED AN URGE SO STRONG,
LIKE A SAILOR IS DRAWN TO A MERMAIDS SONG,
YOU KNOW IT KILLS BUT ALL THE SAME,
YOU ALWAYS RETURN LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME
OH HOW I HOPE AND HOW I PRAY,
MY LOVE FOR LIFE RETURNS SOME DAY...

I know it's what you've wanted since way back when, 
my power of all enshadowed 
to absorb it from my pale skin. 

But your heart is closed to me(she sighs), 
as if that'll save you, 
from the hell in these black shadowed eyes. 

Like a moth to the flame 
you're drawn to me, 
and so let it begin....... our cat and mouse game.

in the beginning
wholesome and fresh
with a vibrant glow
a trailer park name
a path to  fame

finally an opening
in the jungle door
mighty Niagra about to flow
too late now to say no

golden dreams 
every mans fantasy
the moth and the flame

too long at the party
past time for bed
sugar plums dance in her head

good night Norma Jean...
