Love and Passion

When true love enters in the soul,
Its mystic light begins to flow,
It's pure and selfless, ever kind,
No wish to dominate you'll find.

It strives to shield the one it holds,
From harm and sorrow, as it unfolds.
No power craved, no will to sway,
Just gently keep, and guide the way.

Love's the heart's own art, a pure gift given,
It seeks no gain, no chains to bind, no heaven.
When truly loving, you will always strive
To hide your dear one, help them thrive,
To aid and comfort, never to harm.

But there's another fire, alluring, bright,
It's passion's flame, burning with inner might.
It serves itself, its own desires fulfill,
For empathy, it has no room, no will.

Passion's a blaze that only burns for "me",
Indifferent to others' pain, what's deep inside, you see.

Love's the heart's own art, a pure gift given,
It seeks no gain, no chains to bind, no heaven.
When truly loving, you will always strive
To hide your dear one, help them thrive,
To aid and comfort, never to harm.
But passion's fire, it burns for itself alone,
Another's pain unknown – lest its own peace be overthrown.

How often do we mix these two distinct flames?
One grants the will to live, and calls out names,
The other has the power to destroy and consume.
Yes, in passion's heat, there's a beautiful bloom,

But selfishness plants its own seeds, a careful gaze.
Love's ready to sacrifice, to keep you safe from haze,
While passion only queries:
"What's the profit for my days?"

Love's the heart's own art, a pure gift given,
It seeks no gain, no chains to bind, no heaven.
When truly loving, you will always strive
To hide your dear one, help them thrive,

To aid and comfort, never to harm.
But passion's fire, it burns for itself alone,
Another's pain unknown – lest its own peace be overthrown.

Love gives, while passion takes away,
Such is their nature, night and day.
If love's the path you choose to tread, remember this always,
Trust your true heart – it knows through all your days.
