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

Very tenderly sensuous Christine — wonderful!
Thanks so much Rob. I really appreciate it 🙂
Agreed.
Thank you both 🙂
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
I like the subtlety (is that a word?), Christine. Lovely.
Yes it is! …I really appreciate it. Thanks Tracy 🙂💕
You’re welcome, Christine.

Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙂💕
That moment can be tantalizingly agonizing, sweet but all too fleeting.
Yes! Thanks Grace 🙂
S/He left a mark/reminder, I see.
Indeed! 🙂💕
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🙂
Lovely.
Thank you Sadje🙂💕
You’re welcome Christine.
How wonderful.
Thanks Philip 🙂
As the moth and the fire
there with desire
and then after
left with the ash
of your wings
Love it!
