THE MOTH and the LAMP/ Cesar Santos
THANK YOU, Tess, at Magpie Tales...
CONSUMED
It's the first singe
that wounds,
an illicit touch,
the pretense
that I will endure
past the ecstatic gasp,
beyond nature's bribe.
Obsessed,
spent again.
I keep forgetting
the game,
as if breath
can be heaved in,
exhaled
in rapture forever.
I stay
to be consumed.

Hope all is well , enjoy the leaves falling, ours have just reappeared .....round and round she goes
When i xlick the link on the magpie site for your entry, it comes yp with some weird god- bothering site ....
Have you joined a cult and not told us ?
Hi Kutamun-
And I will keep on going! Thanks and enjoying a fab autumn here!
Now I think maybe a poltergeist has slipped in somehow, because lots of nonsense is happening on my PC.
A cult? brr...maybe they've joined me...I don't see what you do, but something's off kilter ..thanks, my friend!!
Hi Margie-
Thanks so much..so glad you enjoyed this..fun to write!!
wow! Great poem! And FYI something weird is going on with your link with Magpie....a wacko religious fervor blog site.
But when I click on your link left on my comments I got to your site.
Hi Kathe W.-
Thanks! Someone else has mentioned this strange thing to me...and I have no idea what it is, because I don't see it....how weird! Anyone know what to do?
Deeply moving!
When I click the link on the Magpie site for your entry your entry comes up. Have I just been unlucky? Can't find the God Botherer site anyhow.
Lyn - does this help? Your link at 16 in the Magpie list takes the reader to ellerochelle.blogspot.COM - whereas you actually are hiding out at ellerochelle,blogspot.CO.UK.
(That'll be £20 please, no cheques!!)
Hi Jerry-
So pleased that you liked this..thanks!!
Hi Fifth-
You got it! Just another ruse of mine..but all straigtened out now, if you click on #50. Or you can find G-d if you wish...Thanks!!!
Is that like 20 American dollars??
Lyn, I had to come by and thank you so very much for the kind words on the poem I wrote to my daughter.
I was so very, very touched!
It made me happy :)
Hi Margie-
A true blessing! Thank you so much...so kind!
