Sitting, watching people, as they scurry through this life; He’s somebody’s husband, she’s somebody’s wife. Why are they together? There’s something going on. There’s far too much affection there, so something must be wrong. Surreptitious are the glances, at each passer by- That’s nervousness and fear I see, half-hidden in their eyes. I cannot help suspecting, that the reason they are there… That in their disillusionment they’re trapped in Passion’s snare. Passion is much stronger, than reason. Don’t you know? It will take a person places that they know they should not go. It will drive a person crazy, then lead them to despair- If they seek the unobtainable, somewhere in Passion’s snare. To her, he is Prince Valiant. To him, she’s Guineviere- This café in their daydreams, a palace must appear… The light of stark reality will lay folly bare- Two more lost souls, out of control, just caught in Passion’s snare. |

In a way, I've been in the place this poem describes. I bought a lot of "real estate" there too. The intensity of passion is beautiful, but dangerous. I suppose I'm a bit jaded these days. It seems that my aging and experiences have taken their toll. Enjoyed! "I know this love will tear me to pieces I know his hands will dig up my secrets" Meg Myers |
