Passion

 

Slow, warmed to be inflamed

a steady progress of beauty to be attained

A bud, enwrapped in spring like green

an enticing glimpse of what will be seen

Growth accelerates as does beauty

an unfolding of such intensity

Then petals emerge, slightly divorced

a velvet sensuality is enforced

A bloom takes its unique shape

to create a glorious state

The perfect flower

with creative power, does truly tower

Passion seduced does earnestly grow

desire, longing filled with awe

as we gaze on what lies in store

A rose, a tulip reaches maturity

a moment of passion denied perpetuity

A time of such intense pleasure

taken in unashamed leisure

Soon the blossom´s beauty fades

and passion retreats into the shades
