the evasive nature of sanity

hope lingers in the doorway –

wisp of cigarette smoke

escaping into the dark of night…

you there –

silhouette in the shadows –

enticing me with silent promises

(your eyes have stories to tell)…

i followed you –

once –

unafraid – yet anxious –

into the heart of – unknown –

beneath a star-less sky –

right up to the door of – what if.

(how can you enter without a key?)

scared –

suddenly aware –

(naked as full moon)

how could i continue on?

(oh so tight the chains of insecure).

innocence – sacrificed.

unaware made – poignantly – aware!

you are my secret pleasure –

ember of a fire i cannot resist –

warmth i crave,

yet unable to survive the heat!

(like the moth to the flame)
