Content to be Passionate

un-rhymed sonnet speaking of the need for passion

 

Content to be Passionate

 

Complacent in this existence, passion

does not enter into the equation

as often as I - and perhaps we - would like.

 

How do I reach out to you and express

the want I feel, the longing inside me?

I fear I have lost my words to seduce.

 

Was it only yesterday when we met?

The day before when I didn't know you?

How do we get to tomorrow from here?

 

I woke up thinking about you today.

Before I opened my eyes, I saw you,

felt my lips curve with wicked desire.

 

I cannot be complacent any more;

I want to be passionate with this life.
