Enticed
~~~

Addicted hearts
endure the sting of constant spurn
A narcotic pang
of passion's flame dependent grip
Fatal attractions
of blackest night
~
Hear them
mock the moth
while they chase the light

Hey Rex!!  Good to see you in here!
This is great!  I especially like....
"Hear them
mock the moth
while they chase the light"

Nice job here.  ~Hugs, Nancy~

Wow this poem is indeed enticing.

"A narcotic pang
of passion's flame dependent grip
Fatal attractions
of blackest night'

And don't you know that we remain thus...

addicted, that is...

one thing is certain...I do not gain any weight when my fingers are busy at the keyboard....

one of my better addictions, I do so believe...

Rex darling boy we do not see enough of you in the forum. I went looking for this I saw it earlier and then didn’t find it where I expected it to be, which was at the top of the page, front and center. Oh well I’ve now dusted it off and given it a Bumpity bump. WONDERFUL WRITING utterly utterly wonderful

hey Rex....good to find your name here...
this is a way cool cryptic write.
clever rhyme and turn of phrase
love that last verse.
well done poet sir

Awake again I can't pretend ... and I know I'm alone ...
And so close to the end of the feelings we've known.

We must all be the proverbial moth. Had your wings singed lately?
