Rewrite: Gypsy Moth My gypsy moth explores my fire Dances close to my desire Titillates my breach of mind Just beyond my reach of bind She’s tamed the dragon at the door He doesn’t guard me any more And now I’m caught in the abyss Expectancy of touches bliss It’s locked around my very soul But cannot fill my weeping goal And brought my infinite to bow And turned it holier than thou So I am bound a Gordian knot Whose tie has made my spirits clot? Promises of golden ties Dreams and wiles of golden lies It may be that flame destroys Desires touch a moth too coy |

Another coy moth spiraling down in flames I love this, Sy! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Beautifully written. "Dances close to my desire Titillates my breach of mind Just beyond my reach of bind" Really paints an "emotional picture" if you will. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it a great deal |

She’s tamed the dragon at the door He doesn’t guard me any more Seymour - My brain isn't working at all today, and yet I still stop at your words and read them over and over. May take three of four times till the words penetrate but oh how they do. Lovely write! ~ Cheye |
