Passion Play

The Ration of Passion
is killing me.
Too much at a time, but,
too little overall.
The Fire of Desire
drives me towards him,
even though,
the Passion Play is just that.
But, I must trust, that
the desire for fire
won't turn my heart to ashes,
but, instead, into a flame
that flickers long after
the passion has gone.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
