Passion's Longing (poem) by Felix LeRoy Perry on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on August 9, 2005

Dear Felix,

The desires of the human soul which are filled with passion, flow with the stream, unchecked, until you suddenly reach the dreaded waterfall. Beautifully penned Felix and certainly wise words to remember.

warm hugs

Felix, are you the voice of experience in writing this one? Sounds deep! If only we could look into the days, months, years ahead, and see the price that we would pay for those trangressions, I am sure there would be more weighing in the balances going on. I could feel such emotion coming from you on this one. Leah

Darling Felix, this is so painful, pain-driven; I almost feel this passionate act is a Romeo and Juliet affair, where feelings run so deep they must assuage themselves, even if it is for eternal ruination: a self-inflicted wound; self-harm or something. "Love is as strong as death and more unyielding than the grave". A love that is so strong that it takes itself to hell and back again, in order to have one sweet dewdrop taste of heaven is powerful indeed, and you have here unlocked its power. Unfulfilled love must leave a permanent, unassuageable ache in the bones and spirit. This brings upon me a feeling of complete exhaustion, such is the weight of this write... or maybe I'm just physically hungover from my son's weekend :)) This is class, Pops. And your tenderness is melting, always. TY Kate xx

This is so beautiful, Felix, though the ending is so very sad. Recreating a memory after much water has passed under the bridge is only rarely fruitful. Sometimes, though the lust and desire still exists, it is best to simply hold on to the memory as it was and not attempt to resurrect it.

Take care,

Sherry
