Light and Dark: Poems of Passion

Love trips the heart to wild beating. Breathless ecstasy threatens to stop it. Tremendous suffering tears the body, or rends the soul. Emotions both glorious and horrendous produce sweat, tears and blood. They engage all sides, joy and pain, light and dark. They encompass the very essence of what it is to be human. All this wide array, this life experience comes together in one, intricate word: passion.
