{ A Moth to the Fire }

Beautiful -
is what you are
radiant color blinding,
gracefully dancing, tempting me

Do you not understand how I fare?
Watching, longing, dying...
Dying to touch -
painfully hoping

It is a sin to long for
something so wonderful when I know,
in my hands you will
burn into nothing

And so I stay - watching
Entertained as I see you dance
Physically unwavered -
And I burn for it.


{ A Fire to the Moth }

Beautiful - is what you are
Your flames flicker
Inviting me, coaxing me nearer

Do you not understand how I fare?
Your warmth is calling me -
Your arms outstretched, how can I refuse?

It is a sin to long for something so lethal
when I know, in your hands
I will burn for my desire.

But what is love if not for sacrifice?
I've lived in beauty -
But what is beauty without your warmth?

And indeed, I burned for it.
