And What Of Passion? Poem by Fay Slimm

And What Of Passion?

Rating: 5.0


Can it be passion
That gives meaning to joy
Which results in emotions
Excelling in ardent employ?

Passion is wholly
Transforming, it transcends
Then creates sacred fires
In the heart that burn without end.

Chaotic and wild
At times it obsesses
But acts out deep fantasies
With a profound zeal - nothing less.

Rapturous passion
Exults in desiring
Each day's opportunity
To infuse spice into it's fire.

Passion means living
To fullness our loving,
Giving all to another
With unrestrained fervour as proof.

Primordial life
Inspires every heartbeat
With pure authenticity.
Pulsating energy defeats
Boredom - -
Passion is unbeatable.

This is a wonderfully written and expressed poem, Fay, and I must add my two cents of wisdom to agree with you that life without passion is even duller than watching grass grow! Passion is the spark of life and love, and when a passionate person is matched with a lover of equal or even more passion, those sparks of love to fly! Passion is indeed the spice of life and love, and you portrayed that most beautifully in this sterling poem, Fay. Carl.
