Passion once ran through me
like wind in a valley
coursing through, now hollow veins
these rivers of hope -
now drained of dreams.
I rushed towards the mountains high
to only find disdain.
Friends like trees
who waivered in the wind
and uncaring vanity
on crowed beaches of cement
covered with icy stares.
I once knew passion
like the back of my hand
and felt love so deep
my knees would buckle
tears pouring on the ground
- but it was never found
and I…left crawling away.
If you looked in my eyes
you would see deep pools
passions waterfalls
which drown me….
You would see love on the beach
travelled hands, that explore
a mind that cries for you
you would see inner strength
which carries you away
and you would see me
- holding you.
You would see my passion
and we would devour life.
But life keeps trying to devour me
And everyone else…
- just looks the other way
uncaring… about the passion
they just think…it's another day.
But I try to find the passion
- and you.

Happy Poetry Picnic.
when we were young we had passion, we had lust, we had love, and then after awhile, so much pain, we choose to give it up.

such a great cry for passion when we are young we start off love and life with a lot of passion and in the end it seems that we have run out of steam and lose all our passion great write
