The Moths Final Flight

ripple effectripple effect Posts: 87
The candle's flame
Inviting warm light
Attracts the Moth
From out of the night

Flickering bright
Now helpless in trance
Blinding all reason
To this final dance

Flutter and dipping
Closer and low
Unable to escape
the mesmerizing glow

Waltzing with fire
And gripping in sight
Masking the danger
Of the moths final flight

r.e.

    tis good.. very good actually...

    "the crowd calls out for more"
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
  • I like it. We're all moths around the light, all men of the hour inevitably facing the darkness.

    i'm alright...
    pretty good, mostly

    i'm gearing up to take a nice long break from e-pj-world
    i don't dream about eddie anymore
    i dream about all these e-creatures i "know"
    and create soap operas while i sleep

    it's too much

    i had a wee bday party for myself last night

    three divorcees, myself being the only one i really know, with a fridge full of beer and nobody to get drunk with. (i've got enough left over to last me the rest of the summer at the rate i drink). i'm thinking if i devoted 1/2 the time i do to this board to actually going out and looking for fleshies to write poetry with... goddamn, i'd know a lot of people and this beer wouldn't last two hours.

    so, i might try that

    cuz this is too damned cerebral
    and a total mind fuck, happy or sad

    i'm whoring myself out for the touch of thin air
    and i'm sick of seeing people get their days ruined
    by a bunch of elusive words hammered out on the screen

    and i'm sick of sociopaths running around naked with an ever-changing mask on their face

    sure, i like coming here
    I feel like marilyn monroe standing over that grate
    exposed and slightly amused by it (however, still on sale)

    but... it's hard to know how to leave.
    i've been doing this for three years, you know?
    and it's become part of me.

    so.... lol... you asked :D


    now, how are you?

    oh! and my birthday
    my birthday

    signifies the first anniversary of living without some dude looking at me all the time...

    it's good

    i'm glad nobody i know died last year... it's been total hell for me and also for most of the people who helped me stay standing

    my apologies and eternal debt to each of them

    like a moth to the flame
    burned by the fire
    my love is strong
    can't you see my desire

    Thats the way love goes-
    Janet Jackson
    Ms. Jackson if you're nasty

    Nastytyyyy nasty boys
    don't mean a thing
    all you nasty boys
    don't mean a thing
    to me

    we go deep and we don't get no sleep cause we be up all night....
    lucky stars in your eyes
    sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun with no one knowing
    bring it on cause i'm no victim
