Conquering Passion Poem by Gerry Legister

Wrestling joy speed to her spirit,
At once dreams dissolved into love,
In the rasping wait at the paradise gate,
Peace comes in dreams that heavenly hopes gave.

Trying to conquer passion inside the mind,
Infatuation of danger which is perfectly unseen,
Across miles excite the sensations we will find,
Engage apprehension with feelings from within.

We do not know the measure of hope giving
Forethought to the consequences we face,
In this craze cause the emotions we are feeling,
Having the outbursts of obsessions we taste.

Individuals conform to the use of good behavior,
Society will try to conquer the rage of our passion,
But the quest to achieve your love will grow stronger,
We know the qualities of request will take their turn.

Once the fire starts a flame will begin to burn bright,
Strong heat may be difficult to control from a distance,
We will do as well to conquer its powerful might,
On the pathway of dreams we share in a trance.

Life is far too short to leave this love behind,
If it takes one second out of your precious time,
It will affect the emotions and state of mind,
Training our thoughts to leave or become sublime.
