Passion is an alluring fruit
tenaciously tethered to the vine
with roots sank deep within your heart
and nourished by your mind
Often the most tempting... the forbidden kind;
bittersweet this fruit to swallow,
its poisonous juices devour your mind,
swiftly seducing a heart left hollow.
A fool be the wise man who partakes
of the ever fleeting chance
to taste this sweetest nectar and don't forsake
life's most seductive dance.
So many masks temptation wears,
too many hearts played the fool,
when trying to tame the beast which tears
at your soul, leaving conscience overruled.
