PASSIONS

Rising, as mist from a white frozen lake,

As a scorching Sun sears its soft supple flesh.

New Spring morning awakening senses,

Calling, beckoning, pleading its' case.

Crisp and clearing by mid-day and yet

Lingering quietly, memory pacing,

Recalling the freshness, the dewdrops on daffodils

Dancing as daylight escapes from its' hold.

 

Fingers tap softly on silky smooth shoulders,

Patiently waiting for hopeful reaction.

Pictures encapsuled in memory mindful of

Each minute detail I find in your face.

Tasking this creature who dwells here inside of me.

Dare to confront what I know cannot be.

Lord, give me strength to be perfect in battle.

Passions run hot until flesh is stone cold.
