Proclamations of Unrequited Love – N°1: An excerpt from the many poems and letters written for and about MOI, by My minions who dare to glimpse into Pandora’s box..

MOTH TO THE FLAME

“Always on the horizon, You sparkle like a Diamond, like a flame
Pulling, calling, flickering. And so i come closer to You.
Circling round the flame, feeling Your heat,
giving in to the magnetism.
Until You singe the edges of my wings, burn my feet
i leave….but then soon return again.

This time, i lose half of a wing to the consuming flame that is You.
I fall downward in a slow spiral, finally tumbling on the ground.
It takes a while this time to recover. But then i look up at the flame!
It still calls to me.
I beat what remains of my wings hard, and begin to take off again.
Right back up to the flame.

Big loopy circles, rounding the candle. The light consumes my focus.
Swinging by to the side of the fire once, then twice.
The next loop passes right through the flame.
My small world sings as my wings burn away.
The flame flickers brighter!
Then my legs. Then my eyes.
I come to rest in the pool of hot wax at the base of the flame.
My body screams as it sinks into the liquid.
Your world becomes brighter, stronger. My world fades to black.

To be a part of that which is Perfection,
to allow the Diamond Diva to shine
Is how i would like to use my life. To give it over to You.
Princess, i beg You to use me, burn me, consume me.
For it is only in serving and pleasing You that my life is worthwhile.”
