Blow Candles

This poem is based on a love of a moth and a candle.

carefree wings with so eager infatuation,

and vivid temptation,

flutter it moved,

to explore, to devote,only curiosity was it's hold,

I scorn my luminous self,

to have lurked a body so vibrant himself, 

my lethal fume

you're too old to be so shy,

Your poem is a vivid and evocative exploration of the themes of curiosity and self-reflection. The use of imagery, such as the "carefree wings" and "lethal fume," creates a sense of movement and intensity that draws the reader in. The final line, with its direct address to the speaker, adds a layer of intimacy and immediacy to the poem, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences of shyness and self-doubt.

Hey Mina,

Take it from me, no-one is too old to be so shy.

Apart from the fact the sentiment behind these words as I have personally interpreted them might be off kilter, they are otherwise perfect.

Here's wishing you - All Good Things,

Neville

The end seems so quick, like the wick taken of its flame... And an honest truth accepting one's own being--exposed without shame. But the fire within cannot distinguish, how else can u see yourself so ...

Very true indeed :)

Love by candlelight....too old to be shy? I think some of us always are, but it is foolish.....because when love is involved, everything is beautiful. Love transcends the physical! This is thought provoking and the images it paints are lovely. Lydi**

A love poem bordering on a metaphysical one. True love is a metaphysical experience and so very apropos. Great write, Mina.
