Slowly, slowly...Step by step...
I am dipping myself into the darkness,
Trying to recognize every face of my personality...
And as an innocent butterfly,
Attracted by the pureness of the light
I am getting closer and closer
To the dangerous burning flame...
Soon I'll be only ash...
Is it painful? And for how long?
Provoked by the excitment of the darkness
And the transparency of the light,
Wondering "what if?"
I am flying to meet my death...

Very intrigueing poem, Iubita ~ and so like you .

"Trying to recognize every face of my personality..." is a great line. I like the way you are moving throughout this, and end with the ultimate question of self-discovery.

I was delighted to see your photo in the B.L. Gallery ~ at last ~ didn't I say the time would fly by ? I wish you could be here more often, but I know school is your commander for now.

Love,
Elizabeth

Great poem!
Lovely variation on the theme of transformation/alchemy. You may find similarities of interest in: 'Hear, I AM', one of mine (now on page 3, Poetry Forum).

dear Lizzy,
thank you so much for your words...
I also love this line..."trying to"...because this is our life...and how we are passing through it...always looking to discover more and more...sometimes it's strange...sometimes it's painfull and sometimes it's better to don't do it...or to don't know it...
who knows...there are two forces that are driving the world and we belong to one or another or may be to both of them...but may be the most important thing is when we are "trying to..." to keep going in the way we believe it's right...
sounds very serious, isn't it?...

Love and even more Love,
Iubita

Dear Makera,
thank you for your very kind words...
I see that you really know what I wanted to say...
the alchemy that is very strong and sometimes can even burn your personality...making you only ash...forever...
thanks a lot for this great understanding...

Love. Iubita
