The Nightingale's Tale

Poetic Expressions of Faith, Fortune, and Grief by Selina

A Fool to Fire

09/30/2024

I’m doing my best to stay present
But I want to keep you close to me
I find myself off in the clouds
when I think of you and me

I feel so naive, I have to admit
I want it to last forever
Hard to admit how you have me spent
How much I’ve seen and tasted pleasure

Yet I must be careful
You have a devious nature to you
I start to worry about just exactly
What I would or wouldn’t do for you

A voice of reason chimes in
She reminds me that…

Satisfaction can be a chain too
the devil is known for his temptation
and for now I walk these hot coals
in search of your sweet sensations
