PASSION

PASSION

Passion does not whisper
It enters like a flame
It burns across your senses
And calls you by your name

It doesn’t ask permission
Or wait outside the door
It takes what slept within you
And makes you want for more

Two hearts can burn together
Without becoming one
Two souls can keep their freedom
And still become the sun

Passion is not possession
It never wears a chain
It dances through the pleasure
And sometimes through the pain

It lives within the glances
That nobody else sees
The sudden rush of wanting
That brings you to your knees

It lives inside the silence
Between two people near
Where words would only ruin
What bodies make so clear

It isn’t always gentle
It isn’t always wild
Sometimes it burns like lightning
Sometimes it burns quite mild

But when two flames discover
A reason to combine
They do not lose their colours
Your fire remains yours, mine mine

And if the flames grow brighter
We shouldn’t fear the heat
For passion is the heartbeat
That makes two spirits meet

One day the fire may soften
And become a steady glow
But embers still remember
The flames of long ago

So never fear your passion
Or hide what makes you burn
The heart was made for feeling
And feeling makes us learn

Two phoenixes together
Can rise above the past
For passion born from ashes
May be the kind that lasts
