Close To the Flames

Like a moth living life dangerously
Close to the flames......
Being drawn to the glowing embers,
Mesmerized by the orange depths
As if requesting.........
"Will you be my partner?"
Knowing the dangers hidden....
Coming close, Got singed...
Draws away, retreating into a shell
Still loving the mysterious depths....
Coming close once more,
Love stronger than existence,
Fate was not kind, time again,
Perished in the quest..........
Wish unfulfilled...
Leaving the mysteries unlocked,
For yet another ro kind;
Realize life's ultimate answer........
