Passion's Flame

You paint these lips

with passion's flame

in brilliant hues

of blood and wine;

Breathless whispers

are unearthed

as hands trace velvet,

unveiling tender petals

which open to you...for you.

Nothing else matters

but this moment,

and your strength

is now my own.

Are you my undoing,

or am I yours?

I think the true answer lies somewhere in between, for passion should be a mutual act...

In giving there is conquest. The ending is about sharing or should I say blending into one.

You paint so well,
Pictures of Passion;
With pen for a brush
And words for paint;
One grows passionate
As one perceives the picture!
I have a feeling,
I have missed a lot,
Oh, I have missed a lot!
