This is Week 47 in Year 15 of Blogophilia! We hope that all you Moms enjoyed some well-deserved pampering last week for Mother’s Day. Hope everyone is gearing up for a long holiday weekend starting later this week!! 😀
*************************************
Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience
Tonight in the city
You won’t find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated
In the bars and the cafés, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion
Once in love you’re never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion
“Passion” by Rod Stewart

Hello Marvin. Thank you for your kind words and your continued invitation to write on your blog. I’m passionate about music, stories, and unblemished creativity. This write came quickly though I took some time to tweek it once it was done. The bonus’s are in italics. Hope you enjoy. God Bless
Budding Hummingbird
Dangerous, the budding of a single rose
Blushed with crimson, but growing old
Awash in desire for something unknown
Pink, elliptical, Elysium dreams
Time goes by, blooming fades
Into wrinkle of petals brought on by and by
Desires thorn pricks the bleeding thumb
As twilight turns dark, as the nighttime comes
Sprinkled with knowing after erotic schemes
Hummingbird flutters, but flits away unseen
A ripe, bloodied, blossom shivers with fear
Clinging to the thorns, hiding in her tears
Yet passion still blooms in the hot August sun
A syllable, a flick of ecclesiastical song
As the heart does a pitter, a jerk, a jolt
Mortem in passione, the writer provokes
The Voice then whispers seductions vow
Inciting metaphorical cramps to howl
Rip open the bosom of blossom to fly
Amidst flocking doves and cawing cries
She is not death, nor loss, adrift
Afraid of passion, a kiss, a lovers gift
Yet, unbegotten, forgotten, blooming rose,
Strips her petals, spreads herself open, reposed
Humming wings of long lament
Elevate her soul to existential bliss
Blooming bud, bleeds no more exposed
As thorns fall deeply onto forest floor
Awaken the bleeding heart within
Let the song sing its pleasing, rhythmic refrain
Assist in the making of cleansing, healing rain
Let sleeping blooms keep, as wings flutter away.
