I would touch you
if I could
your heat
so inviting
drawing me to you
a need I can't describe
an almost
uncontrolable urge
to feel the heat
you radiate
so deliciously
yet, to dance within your fire
would bring certain death
destruction to my soul
but oh..........
what a lovely way
to burn

take it from the queen Luna baby...
being a moth aint easy...
i got the singed eye lashes to prove it...
Ya see... the problem is...
each time we fly thru that pretty blue flame...
the next time... we NEED it hotter.....
and so on and so on...
but we moths... we learn all our lessons the hard way ...
at some point... we either crash and burn ...
or learn the secret....
become the flame ...  
Better yet....aspire to be a butterfly  
and YOU KNOW I ~felt~ this one Sea-girlie

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.

please come dance with me
you will not burn by my touch
we can fan the flames

polishing buckles
friction causes heat to rise
we have combustion

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
