Speak to me of passion When my wings are filled with air And heights do not starve This sensibility, When courses run beyond The limits set by those Who cut the ribbons, who tinder them with raw blind emotion. Speak to me of passion When blood runs hot Upon the pavement of desire Free from cycling endlessly In never-ending roadmaps Of life. Speak to me of passion When all that is within Explodes upon the page, Upon the canvas, Upon the air, In notes that scream Their birthpangs In palabratic colour And sonorous dimension. Speak to me of passion When winds give rise To change and all I need to do Is catch one breath And ride it home. |

Margherita, Linda, James, and Marge... You made my day, or rather, my evening! I don't think people get into expressing themselves poetically unless they care passionately about living! May it touch each of our lives so deeply that we can't help but share it! hugz.... and thanks, Lynda |

I'm glad you took the ride SES... I know you know that breath. It's how I imagine a magic carpet ride only better! Sharing the experience with people just makes it that much more. with smiles Lynda |

A little bit of hunger can go a long way, can't it dark. I hope I'm never satisfied; with who I am, with who I can become, with how much passion there is in my life and in my writing--and I know I can go the distance if I don't let go of the tail of that breath... To believe in oneself as others believe... that would be such an achievement. hugs and thanks for that lovely comment... Lynda |

Well, Kin, that does it! Proof positive that we are related! I cannot imagine my life without passion. I had to look up "palabratic". Loved and really felt your poem! - Owl |

And we haven't even discussed the fact that I used to raise horses! lol. I think we should look into our fathers' lineage! haha... I saw the passion in your poetry long ago. we are indeed 'Kin'! |
