A Middle Ground For Passion

Was a time when passion was in fashion
Movie stars and models fairly bubbled
As sloe eyes and sexy looks were meant
To arouse the psyche that was troubled

Then somewhere passion went out of fashion
And the ones we had were pent up inside
The things we had a passion for were scowled 
Upon as things the human soul should hide

Ah, but now we have reached a middle ground
Nothing seems either boring or the rage
Passion is neither in or out of fashion -
But then I suppose it could be my age
