Passion

It can be found 
On both sides 
Of the heart
As fire burning desire
Or
As fire burning anger

It is alive
As it takes a presence
Controlling the mind
Capturing the will
Driving the attention
Immeasurably

It serves as spark
To start 
The hottest of nights
Or
The hottest of fights

It is either
Ally or foe
As receiver
It can be good 
Very good
Or it can be bad
Dreadfully bad
