Burned Fingers

One that got deleted that I found again.

 Burned fingers,
red hot flame,
pain intense,
who’s to blame? 


Love’s the culprit,
as per norm.
I’m the victim,
true to form.



Why repeat,
knowing the score?
Outcome guaranteed,
that’s for sure.



Defensive shield up.
Does no good.
Cupid aims.
He draws blood.



Fleeting joy.
Enough though.
Then it’s gone.
Feel the blow.



What’s left behind, 
A broken heart?
Happiness gone.
Another new start.



Women close?
Never again!
Burned fingers.
Remember the flame.

David.. how clever you are.. these brief, staccato little verses are perfect for what you say.. mini impacts, powerful end.. BUT..don't give up. Remember, all women aren't the same.. and passion can be a pretty 'cool burn'.. (grin) katy.
