Passion and Love & Love Consumes All

Samson so loved Delilah He ended up grinding grain. Anthony so loved Cleopatra He lost all and was slain. David so loved Bathsheba He drifted from God’s command. The way I feel makes it easy To imagine and understand. You‘re the inspiration of my day And the delight of my night. The joy we share as we conceive Makes everything feel just right. Thank heaven for passion and love Blessings from God to man. Without them we’re mere creatures Subsisting like ants in the sand. LOVE CONSUMES ALL Love consumes all physical functions Hearing, taste, touch, thought and smell. It can heal, destroy, weaken or bond Those caught in its presence and spell. May I be remembered by tears of love When my hands lay across my chest. Displayed for view to say goodbye To my family, friends, and the rest. Until it’s time for my final farewell I will serve whom I love even more. These words of passion inhabit my heart Conveying my need for all, I adore. By Tom Zart
