Sometimes passion clouds reason - and with them sensibilities, logic and reality... This.. and a few others posted here in poetry soup today were one such tumultous situation. A futile, yet intense brief interlude that colours some people's life every now and then... If they are lucky ... Poetry Soup ingredients indeed :)

Passion! Such frustration, pain, euphoria Trapped inside one mortal being Such excitement, anticipation and despair Laid bare - it's scary seeing Such one sided input A look and kiss in return Such anxious, stressful waiting Oh, how it makes hearts burn How can I explain these feelings How can I get through to you This flaring, searing passion Unfulfilled and unquenched too? When can I accept your reasons For our not making love? Why can't I comprehend your depths Instead my hands I throw above? Never before have I witnessed Such strength, such self denial You share my ardent fervour Yet each time your heart's on trial I wish you well, with all my heart In what you yearn for and do I wish you peace and contentment Unlike what I've put you through Forgive my impatient lusting Forgive my incessant trying Forgive my constant coaxing When I know your heart is crying.
