Passion's Metamorphosis

When you really love someone and it's not infatuation
When words get caught in your throat and your imagination
When colors dance inside your head and daydreams seem unending
Its deeper love than words can form because they're never ending
When love becomes so extreme that heaven is your trance
When your heart rises far above this world just to dance
The waltz of lover's caught in circles wrapping into dreams
Wrenching music from the soul when spirits kiss...it seems
Like a fragile butterfly wrapped in its coccoon
Wreathing all contained in dust...colored vapors swoon
Breaking through with tight held wings, tender wings a'blooming
Love is so incredible there are no words for beauty
Its in the heart and mind and eyes...it is a silent duty
To wrap the awe of wonderment and hold tight to love's testament
Love is wonder, to extreme, in passion's metamorphosis.
