PLEASURE AND PAIN

If passion holds pleasure,

It also breeds pain.

No other emotion is free

To lay claim to

The bold multiplicity found

In it's faces;

Nesting in dozens of

Dark hiding places.

 

No one can know when

Passion may strike,

When two people meet and

Their small worlds collide.

Drenched in emotion,

Drawn to each other,

Driven by feelings they

Soon cannot hide.

 

What of the outcome?

Pleasure or pain?

Melt the facade 'til

All passions lay bare.

Time is our mentor, our teacher,

Our healer;

Patiently waiting to

Render her care.
