IF UNBRIDLED
Passion should be checked by reason
Without letting it grow into an obsession
Unless tempered by moderation
It may develop into an agitation
Be it for power, pelf, wine or woman
If untrammeled, like a steed unbridled
It may shake you off your straddle
And toss you down from your saddle
To be trampled like a thing so frail n’ brittle!
Very wise, one should always maintain a sense of proportion. Great Valsa.

Passion should be checked by reason Without letting it grow into an obsession Unless tempered by moderation It may develop into an agitation.....so touching and true. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing. Full stars.
The wisdom embedded in this great poem must always be put to heart. Great metaphor and superb imagery to inculcate in the mind that passion must always be tempered with reason. Statistics show that one of the primary reasons of man's downfall is we let our passion rules our action. Beautifully crafted and well expressed write.
