Knowing the Difference
Sex without strings,without emotional ties,
A mechanical physical act with no true passion.
A temporary release of nothingness.
Achieved by anyone who doesn't care for anything.
Aspirations of morally bankrupt masses.
Goals of those who are frightened by the deep.
Mortified by the possibility of opening ones heart to another.
No passion involved.
True passion stems from beyond the physical.
An emotion directly linked to the heart.
Passion is a long, slow, deep, hungry kiss
which lingers on the lips for hours,
in the mind for days,
makes it's mark on a heart and burns into the soul.
Passion speaks without words,
without thought,
it flows like an artist sculpting a lover
with such emotion that the artist can remember,
from memory,
from the heart,
every line,
every crevasse,
every curve,
every breath,
of the one they love.
