Passion's Desire

Passion - The fire that burns in the lonely soul;
An intense desire to behold.

It's the beauty that awakens the dying heart,
Which captures love's essence and never departs.

As constant as the earth orbits the sun,
Romance ignites and two minds become one.

Like a haunting tune engulfing the night,
It overwhelms the stars and gives them their light.

Its form is simply the air that is breathed,
As charmed and vibrant as it is free.

Desperately seeking a heart to possess,
To enliven the soul is always its quest.

Hypnotized by memories of long ago,
It continues to inspire and help love to grow.
