Enchantment is an open door
My charm has pulled you in
Each time a little more
Your thoughts will turn to sin

Enthralled with all I tell you
Possessing with delight
You wonder how I do it
Consume your thoughts each night

Enchant you while your sleeping
Captivate you through the day
Just like a snake that slithers
Nary I word I need to say

Yet powerful this feeling
I leave with you each time
You fight with all your reason
Yet still I crowd your mind

Don’t ask me to release it
Not something I can do
The first step now is over
The next is up to you.

... cant wait to see the replies to this one
very cool poem ...
its rare we see a poem from this viewpoint..
the flame to which we moths are drawn has a voice....
poetically speaking of course  
well written poem...
enjoyed the premise of it
as well as the cadence and wording.


"Don’t ask me to release it

=====================
tis true we can only release our selves..
either that or fly into the flame ...
take the fall ...
crawl the wall ...
pardon the ramblings of this moth...
this one hits home tonite...

One look into those deep brown eyes
And yes you're right Im lost
Enchanted by your wicked words
And the challenge you have tossed

enchanting charm has pulled me in,
and I didn't realize,
that thoughts of me woven with sin,
were captured by your eyes.
