Passion

A description of the effects of a passion ...

How wonderful that we feel such passion…

For a multitude of reasons and things….

Physical … mental …..spiritual …

It wraps us up in moments of sheer ecstasy …

And can send us to the depths of the oceans…

We need it .. we seek it … and it can raise us to Nirvana…

Or send us crashing to the jagged rocks below…

Our psyche will determine how we bear it …

How much we desire and how much we control …

When it reaches inside our soul it releases us …

Freedom in a kiss .. a touch .. a sight …

All may turn our knees to jelly and our hearts aflame…

We rise up above the clouds and fly with angels ….

And soar in a maelstrom of sheer pleasure…

Untouchable in our happiness and joy …

For true passion and love come rarely to us .. if at all ..

But when they do .. feel the intensity .. burn with desire…

Triumphant in our ecstasy … we will walk on water … fly without wings

A soulmate guiding our path through togetherness and into forever…

No greater love will be found than that between lovers who are also deepest friends …

Who share the needs and desires of their hearts …

May the winds of elation blow their sails of joy forevermore..

Their lives intertwined so closely that nothing can part them ..

No shaft of light can see between the strength of their love …

They are indivisible .. they are truly one …

So enjoy that jubilation and contentment..

May the mellow thoughts of intimacy and devotion seal eternal love …

All too often people spend most of their lives searching for "the special love" the one that fills and soothes on every possible level.

All to often people settle for something less for various reasons.

When a love that touches every level, leaving you feel wonderful, fullfilled and content, is found - it is a love to hold and cherish.

Your descriptioni is of a love such as this.

Thank you.

Cheers

This is a fact that our emotional state of mind, often makes for alternating responses. Great write.

Our psyche will determine how we bear it �
How much we desire and how much we control
When it reaches inside our soul - I like these lines. Passion can lead us in many different directions. Like Ron pointed out it can lead to negative feelings but can also be a wonderful thing. I'm pretty sure that everyone who writes does have some passion in them - how could you write without out it? Maybe it depends on your definition of passion. Anyway, from reading enough of your poems I know your definition of passion is strongly connected with love.

Hmm, I don't know if I have any passion in me. Is that bad? I am wary of it as I associate it with extremes and violence of mood. Given the choice I'd opt for gentleness, but am probably out of step with most. I imagine once passion is lose there might be no controlling it...or is that something else? For me it leads to impulse, rages, violence, lack of control.

To be loved is the most precious gift, anyone's heart could ever hope for.

I remember this feeling, no matter what kind of day
you have even a bad one at work life still seemed grand
Nicely penned I enjoyed this write as always Ray { Not a Poet }
