I tasted passion once... I mean, I really tied one on. I held the bottle to my lips And drank 'til it was gone. All sanity abandoned me I noticed no alarms. I tasted passion once - the day I held her in my arms. I tasted passion once It was an aphrodasiac. It took me straight to Jupiter And then it brought me back. Although the flight was wonderful The landing sure did smart. I tasted passion once and, well, It almost broke my heart. I tasted passion once... I sipped it like an apertif. My blood ran so hot through my veins I couldn't find relief. My calm air and my debonair Identity was lost. I tasted passion once and now I'm forced to pay the cost. I tasted passion once... Then I awakened with the dawn Hung over with a headache From the binge I had been on. It may sound strange but I can't change To be what I had been. I tasted passion once and I Would do it all again.

I tasted passion once ... but not on lips so red I tasted passion once ... and it went right to my head I tasted Passion once ... and it left me needing more I tasted Passion once ... its essence knocked me to the floor Once tasting Passions zest .. it became all that I ever wanted , all that I will ever be ... all that I now am ... For I'll never be the same once tasting your sweet lips of Spam. *winkiewinkie* it was TOOOOOOOOOO easy ... I just couldnt resist.. thank you for the inspiration LOOOVE when you write like this. later-passion-fruit-gator me |

Balladeer~ Oh ... you melt my heart when you write from yours. This is vintage. I'll have what you're having. To drink the passion in your eyes is to suddenly realize When I thirst I want you more than that chilled bottle of Coors ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

You may have only tasted Passion once but we have all tasted it many times through your wonderful creations you leave with us. Excellent verse. I almost posted your spam poem again but what the heck. You finished that can a long time ago.LOL. Nice to see you writing like this for us again. |

Corinne....I'm here, willing Mark...darn, what wonderful words you present me with! I thank you, sir. Yes I did but one of beauties of Spam is that there's always another can somewhere! Elizabeth...the same view about passion, the effect or wanting it again? Regardless, I thank you [This message has been edited by Balladeer (edited 10-29-2000).] |
