So many moths flock to you..
You're a flame
They flutter and singe their wings
you crackle, smoke, and sting
they watch your beauty, I watch your eyes
I don't know whether to shudder
but for you I'd still die
We dance, tonight
I glance into your light
you breathe, I sigh
I'm burned but I'm alive
How many wings will you
rip from their flight?
I'm different, you know it
oh, you love when we collide
Moths~
attempting to fly across
enthralled, it's tempting
to knock them into your arms
So we dance, tonight
I shine when you're alight
you lead, claim your prize
It burns and I feel alive
We dance with pride
tonight I'll be your Bride
You're a flame
They flutter and singe their wings
you crackle, smoke, and sting
they watch your beauty, I watch your eyes
I don't know whether to shudder
but for you I'd still die
We dance, tonight
I glance into your light
you breathe, I sigh
I'm burned but I'm alive
How many wings will you
rip from their flight?
I'm different, you know it
oh, you love when we collide
Moths~
attempting to fly across
enthralled, it's tempting
to knock them into your arms
So we dance, tonight
I shine when you're alight
you lead, claim your prize
It burns and I feel alive
We dance with pride
tonight I'll be your Bride

Hello there.
I stopped by this one because I was really drawn to the line “ they watch your beauty, I watch your eyes”
There’s so much gold in that line. Meaning that you are looking beyond the surface in this poem, and that really drew me in.
I’m really quite taken with the mythology surrounding the moth and this adds elements of such imagery surrounding the creature into your piece here.
I really like how it adds a personal element towards the end of the poem. Lovely stuff indeed.
Thank you for sharing.
