The moth, she knows the flame will burn
But back again, again she comes,
Her velvet collisions dress the air,
Sparkling against tempting embers
As she throws herself again, again
Upon the flickering fascination,
Senseless self-immolation
Strips her to a carapace,
Scorched, naked, undressed, undone,
Against the tragic unraveling of her world.

Welcome to my blog, thanks for stopping by - here you'll find some of my poetry that I'm writing as I go. Mostly based on real life events or the annals of history, hopefully you'll find something you enjoy and maybe even learn something new. Hope you enjoy.
I've Moved!
Hello wayward traveler - I thank you for visiting my blog.
I have recently moved to Wordpress, so I'll be slowly phasing my 'Blogger' blog out. If you've enjoyed my work and would like to keep seeing it, please go to simonaustinpoetry.wordpress.com and you can continue following me and my poetry.
I look forward to seeing you there :)
Simon.
