Deep unabated Passion! ( a Tribute)

The passion of your words
has sparked things in me
that I could never see,

The brush strokes on the
canvas you have painted,
has made me see the magic
of your hands,

Reveiling all I am and all I
could be, the colors you
have used are beyond any
rainbow,

You have place me in the
slow burning fire of your
passion, so as to be
consumed in the pleasure
of your words,

The never ending feast that
I have been devoured in,
has opened both my mind
and heart, to things I have
never felt or seen,

Creating in me a deep
wanting for things that are
far above my heavens.

All you have given me, has
made me ask the cost of the
sky, so as to you , I may give
its glorious blue,

In the peace of your
pleasure and knowledge,
you have increased my life
span, far above the year of
where I stand,

and every day that passes
seems endless, and still
there is the expectation of
the next,

You are my Mistress and
my slave, and I yours. I will
never let you slip away,

My addiction to the written
word, at all its levels, has
made me want for more,

So write, so that I may read.
No matter where I go your
words will always be with
me!

Eddie Life is like a railroad track that leads to many junctures, if you stand on the track Love comes speeding along and runs you over!! Splat!!!!
