Burning

Flame is burning intensely thru the dark 

Emitting a radiant and hypnotic glow

Igniting within a tiny spark

A warmth that melts an inner snow

A warning for the little moth

That sees the burning light ahead

To heed before its wings get caught

And have its body scorched and dead

No amount of caution would keep her still

The burning flame entices her more

She is drawn against her free will

Nothing she has ever felt before

She flies closer and closer 

She is putting herself in a perilous dance

The flame almost touching her

Yet she is willing to take that dangerous chance 

Unknown to her what her fate would be

She is magnetized to the enigmatic flame

As she continues nonchalantly

Uninhibited, wild, restless and untamed

Lured in by that mysterious glow

Intrigued by the secrets she wants to know

Why can such light control her that way

In any course and time of the day?

Slowly the tip of her wing was licked by the flame

Still she continued with the dangerous game

She thought she was safe and had it in control

Little did she know that she will take the fall

Her wings scorched slowly into ash

Her body slowly withered and crash

Funny but she wasn't filled with remorse or regret

Willing to face the fire up to her last breath
