A Fleeting Moment
You touched my life
with a stroke of a feather
A fleeting moment
in the moon shadow
that excited and tantalized
Luring me to you
like a moth to the flame
Singeing wings
burning desire
Now all that remains
is a feeling
A sensation that still tingles
A scratch
you can barely see

As the moth and the fire
there with desire
and then after
left with the ash
of your wings
Love it!
How wonderful.
Thanks Philip 🙂
Lovely.
Thank you Sadje🙂💕
You’re welcome Christine.
Very nice Christine! Love the ending …. a scratch… a scar barely seen! Like a tattoo it fades but is always there.
Yes, that is true. Thanks Dwight🙂
S/He left a mark/reminder, I see.
Indeed! 🙂💕
That moment can be tantalizingly agonizing, sweet but all too fleeting.
Yes! Thanks Grace 🙂
So gorgeous!! ❤️
Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙂💕
I like the subtlety (is that a word?), Christine. Lovely.
Yes it is! …I really appreciate it. Thanks Tracy 🙂💕
You’re welcome, Christine.
Very lovely. I like the last line a lot and feels it adds to the poem.
Thank you! It’s like those very special moments that you want to hang onto but memories fade like scars
Very tenderly sensuous Christine — wonderful!
Thanks so much Rob. I really appreciate it 🙂
Agreed.
Thank you both 🙂
