Falling in love inappropriately


Blinded By The Fire by M.A.Meddings

Your words this day are the sweetest thing
A dream
An illusion
A seductive song
That you sing to me with scant intent
An exquisite joy
These kisses at sixty five
More alive
Than any I had known
Quite the menopausal state of mind
That men like me achieve
Twixt the years of prime and grizzled chest
I guess you know the rest
Far too wise
To willingly act the fool
Not wise enough to see
Until some inner voice
Entreating me
My friend
Forgive me now
I meant no harm
No illicit tawdry disrespect
I was drawn much to close to the flame
I was hopeless
Helpless
And blinded by the fire.

We are all blinded by fire sometimes...
The fire can make miracles to come true and it can also destroy us... A good poem here Father..

hey salut... this is a good poem, apologies of the heart coming through... trespass committed on another for whatever the circumstances establishing it's not alright to be overtly amorous with someone... and the words of apology for trespassing the boundary is heartfelt here... sensitive and caring as always... i enjoyed reading this... thanks for sharing :f

the sweet sincerity of the poem, the admissions of vulnerability, are so soft in their revelation that one could not help but feel drawn to the writer--into his hopeless, helplessness. Beautifully written. :) kathy

A wonderful poem! Your poem gave me a mental picture of a butterfly that got blinded by the seductive dance of the flames and flew to close to the fire until her wings got burned!
Good work here Mike!

The ending is so honest....
"I meant no harm
No illicit tawdry disrespect
I was drawn much to close to the flame
I was hopeless
Helpless
And blinded by the fire."
Wonderfully honest write. Love it.

Burn on, hearts of young and old,
Burn on and feed our fires
Our tempting desires
Burn on...

Loved it Michael,
