The Passion of Poetry

"The Passion of Poetry" by: Eric L. Boddie The power to express every emotion that is you Here and now, this is Love, the only essence that is always true Enchanted by devotion, no matter what we go through Passion beyond lust ordained for just two Affection produced by lips from the embrace they pursue Satisfaction through seduction, that's the obvious clue So tempting, so captivating as well as mesmerizing too Inspiring minds to touch bodies in more ways than a few Only to show that Love is not a bolt, it needs more than a screw Now, if that is hard to understand, all I can say is "if only you knew" Of all of Life's experiences, falling in Love is the greatest you can do For it never appears old, it can only be fresh and new Pleasure to the mind, body and Soul is its only revenue Often we ask for more, but if we put the foot in the other shoe Eventually, we would understand that the effort alone is the glue That bonds the hearts of Love's faithful crew Relating the ship at the strength of each virtue Yielding true Love, the only power strong enough to tame the shrew

You seem to favor these monorhymes, Eric, and you do well with them. The beat reminds me of rap which is very popular among the youth...maybe you can record and send a sample to those studios one day. :-)
