The Enigmatic Feeling of Passion

The Enigmatic Feeling of Passion
By Miguel Ramos

What is passion?
The feeling of euphoria, animosity or melancholy?
Perhaps it’s hysteria, delirium or derangement?
Or going from devil’s hour to coyotes hour laboring?
Is it doing something with impetus and incentive?
Is it sacrificing sentiment to advance society?
Or being recalcitrant and following ambition?
Or will it be eternally flummoxing?
Passion, devotion, fervor or ardor, whatever appellation you give it, there’s nothing elementary about this word.
Passion is just as perplexing as the passionate.
