Fatal Attraction

Instinct kills- sometimes

not quite
the butterfly

 

a mohoe burns

in heat drawn

 

towards

 

the fatal
light of fire

Author's Note

a mohoe is Northumbrian for moth
I may well create a book for "insect" poetry :p

"Fatal Attraction"...imagine the genius that first stuck those two words together...and which of us doesn't have burn scars on our heart

i remember a story about this one, of a moth that was attracted to the light of fire in the candle. and this is a different viewpoint, yes beauty can be fatal at time. good work my friend.
