Defining Passion

Defining Passion

Passion has
A way
Of leading
My mind astray
Holding
All caution at bay
Compelling
Me to sway
In its persistence

Passion is
To know
That wherever
I may go
I’ll be carried by its flow
For the distance

Passion is
To feel
Dreams’ splendors
Revealed
While all else is
Unreal
Fading into
Darkened backgrounds
Of existence

Passion is
To see
In me all that I
Can be
Grasping full mastery
Over resistance

Passion is
A time
When philosophies
Of mine
Are willingly left behind

Liberated by
Temptation
Of one instant

Passion is
Being blind
To certainties that bind
My body
Soul
And mind
In their restrictions

Passion denies
Submission
Passion defies
Rationality
Reality
Possibility
Probability
Practicality
Propriety
And permission

Passion even defies
Definition.
