Storm Passion Pleasure Pain

Life without passion? I'll have none of that! Tempest, bend the tree and break the bough! For me the tripping heartbeat, sweating brow, Your eyes to mine menacing as a cat! The midnight tenor sax cries out the long Ago sweet song that urged your passion on, Long cool lady's fingers, nails of crimson, Locked loose behind your neck. Could this be wrong? For others, the calm center, typhoon's eye. For me, the hurricane, the swirling storm. The thunderstriking anvils rising on warm air! My lows be low, my highs be high! Give me pleasure's pain 'til I would break, If joy, unmitigated, be its wake!

Nice, Robert, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Deep and lovely poem. There's truth and beauty in each line. Without passion one isn't living, one is dying.
