The moths worship a flame
in a circular motions,
As lovelorn stars orbit the moon
in a Venus constellation.
Chant a mythical choir in
a mystical fashion-
To appease the divine goddess
of love and passions.
A lamp of love bejeweled with
cacoethes’s emotions,
Bedding a wick woven
with wonderful impressions
And feeding it with
fiery oil of passions.
The moths resemble
the martyrs
ready to die for a nation,
Are raring for kamikaze on
spherical stations
of the flame housed in
bosom of emotions.
They aim to land on
Goddess of passions,
Mate with her in
fire walled mansion
Use their burning
flesh to graced an
auspicious occasion.
The hypnotized moths
march on drumbeats
-war chirps of crickets,
In a mind numbing night
-the starlit thickets,
With their face glowing
without fear or regret:
Chant dust to dust, ash to ash
While landing on bosom
of flaming lass
Smilingly turns
to mounds of ash.
Lo! A magical wand
of resurrection
of a golden glass,
Mysteriously moving
on mounds of ash,
Raises the seraphic
moths of the
highest class.

Congrats, Dr. Hitest. This is perhaps your best creation that I have come across so far. CP
A great command of English and imaginative spirit here. Wonderful write! Mark
Grand style....... A Milton on the rise. 'Moth - worship - flame' - a beautiful triangle. There is a point to argue with the sacrifice of moth. Sir, this moth story has always been used metaphysically to describe spiritual uprising. Wouldn't it be better if you may add some thing in this regard in the footnote.
grandiose and cosmic! this piece reminds me of Richard Wagner's Die Walküre. keep writing!
