On Passion

Not all Passion..has a physical implication, to me..it transcends into a compelling emotion that invades the mind and soul. When an aspiring artist..loses track of time, forgets to eat as he/she gives complete attention to a small detail in a painting..only to be forgotten in someone's attic when it's finished, that..is the embodiment of Passion.

When a man lays sleepless..listening to the blowing wind outside..wishing he were a leaf..flying in the direction of a loved one's window, then blowing right inside..touching her hair for a fraction of a second, or standing in the rain waiting for her to come out..and smile at him, that..is Passion.

When a Lioness..deep in the African plains stalks a prey, then carries it back miles away to her cubs..and sits there, waiting patiently, as they tear it up..despite her own hunger, that..is Passion.

When a mother wakes up in the middle of the night to check that her children are ok..covers them properly and stands there for a minute watching them as they sleep, that..is Passion.

When two people hold hands..and just sit there, that..is Passion.

People might forget what you say, but they will never forget how you make them feel, that..my friends..is Passion.

  3. That is very sweet...Are you for real ??
    Your second paragraph is just a dream, especially in this day and age. Passion in this form exist only in books and movies we are fed on a daily basis. Or, the people who see it like this are very rare, I found one once,didn't work out, I had to change my expectations and it was really hard.
    We are in the times were the bunny in a velvet ribbon "thingy",rules.
