Passion

Anytime we talk, my senses take a walk

We kiss and we touch, mere fantasies unborn

“My precious” I call thee and precious you are to me

For nothing in this world can gratify my love for thee

Helpless, enslaved sometimes love do bring.

I stared at your face upon which pictured a cage

The farther I tried to run away, the farther astray I seemed to get

Perhaps I’m trapped already in your charming nest

Oh sweetie! Let me know if need be to fret

For this wholesome sensation depicts lust at its very best.

VISION

I gazed upon the twilight

And behold I saw a castle

This castle holds everything I’ll ever need

It is indeed the abode of my destiny

Excitement thrilled me; my future I just found thee.

I looked down to take my first step

And behold there was no place for me to step

Between me and my future lied a mighty sea

And there was no bridge in sight, none to connect we

Sadness filled me; my future, how do I get to thee.

I went into my brain, flipping through the pages of history

And behold I remembered the Israelites story

Then I longed for the staff of Moses

But all within reach were weeds and roses

Despair came calling; I was alone in this.

A passage I remembered, again from the Bible

Behold I am with you until the end of time

I am the way, the truth and the light

I will create a path for you in the wilderness

Hope was enkindled; I could make it to my future.

Since Christ was with me, there was no reason to panic

Behold he walked on water and promised I’ll do better

I prayed and braced up to emulate this gesture

On taking my first step, I saw two paths not a sea

Complete illusion, the water was mere deception.

I then halted confused, oblivious of what path to choose.

One was smooth and had cabs, but its destination chased goose

The other; a footpath filled with rocks, pits and thorns led to the castle

But I knew for every prize, there has to be a price

So fastening my jungle boots, I made out for the dangerous route
