Passion

[forbidden?]

Life is a risky affair
Danger lurks at every turn
... yet the thing for which we yearn
is the passion which lights our existence.
The thing we thirst for
is a threat to our life.

Safety .... we can choose that.
Yet even as we exist in safety
we long for the adrenalin rush of passion

Addicted we will ever be
slave to our passion
... seeking that moment when we lose
our awareness of time ...
... when life's worries fade
and the only thing of which we are aware
is the thrill of touch and ecstasy

Safety .... or danger....
what will we choose?
In passion we will ever lose
our thoughts and mind...
The addiction will never allow
me to walk away ...
I am lost before I start.
