Passion Poems
Life Is A Privilege
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Life is a privilege. Its youthful days
Shine with the radiance of continuous Mays.
To live, to breathe, to wonder and desire,
To feed with dreams the heart’s perpetual fire,
To thrill with virtuous passions, and to glow
With great ambitions – in one hour to know
The depths and heights of feeling – God! in truth,
How beautiful, how beautiful is youth!
Life is a privilege. Like some rare rose

The Power Of The Dog
by Rudyard Kipling
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passion and worship fed

A Fiery Passion
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I have had a great many loves in my lifetime,
Which is why I am the star of velvet nighttime;
But my fervor does not involve solely romance,
But also my glimmering, and my celestial dance!
My colors I send sparkling, to the faraway places,
And put happy smiles, upon those midnight faces.
I am born upon meeting, and die at the parting,
For the fire in my blood, often leaves me smarting!

A Woman's Love
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
So vast the tide of Love within me surging,
It overflows like some stupendous sea,
The confines of the Present and To-be;
And 'gainst the Past's high wall I feel it urging,
As it would cry "Thou too shalt yield to me!"
All other loves my supreme love embodies;
I would be she on whose soft bosom nursed
Thy clinging infant lips to quench their thirst;
She who trod close to hidden worlds where God is,

One's Self I Sing
by Walt Whitman
ONE'S-SELF I sing--a simple, separate Person;
Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse.
Of Physiology from top to toe I sing;
Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse--I say
the Form complete is worthier far;
The Female equally with the male I sing.
Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful--for freest action form'd, under the laws divine,

Leidenschaft
by Mario Odekerken
Sie steigt auf wie Feuer in der Brust,
ungezähmt,
fordert ,gefühlt zu werden.
Eine Kraft,die die Stille bricht,
Grenzen verwischt,
und verlangt,alles zu sein
zugleich.
Passie
by Mario Odekerken
Zij rijst als vuur in de borst,
ongeregeld,
dwingend om gevoeld te worden.
Een kracht die stilte doorbreekt,
grenzen uitwist,
en eist om alles te zijn
tegelijk.
Passion
by Mario Odekerken
It rises like fire in the chest,
untamed,
demanding to be felt.
A voice that breaks silence,
that erases boundaries,
that insits on being everything
all at once.
The Lone Warrior
by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer
The sky is shaking
The sun is horrified
My name is
on each and every particle of creation
Pin-drop silence prevails
I've conquered the whole world,
Yet I'm so lonely
Wandering in search of her
in all directions!
......
Wild hearts
by Mario Odekerken
Your touch
ignites the storm in me-
no warning,no mercy.
We burn,
not to destroy,
but to become
something
no one else
could ever survive.
