Love and Passion

Once in a garden came together
Sweet Love and Passion. "Now or never!
-The second said to her old foe.-
Let's see who stays and who must go!"

"Burst into flame so fast, my maid,-
Burn out swiftly, i'm afraid...
Like me be patient 's well as clever."
"Alas! We're birds of different feather:

I reach the skies and bring the sun,
Make flowers bloom..But what a pun
That you, my Love, must work and dig
To win a heart.. and get a twig!"

"So truly that i'm Love not lust.
So as to yield I labour must.
My fruit will long the heart rejoice.
I have the twigs, but rigs're your choice!

Why should you take my name at soul
And talk too much unlike my role?"
"Love's taciturn thus much mistaken
'Cause hearts are by the ears taken!"

"Them you so easy take and break.
And that's what Love calls a mistake!
Pray step aside for hearts to save,
For sacred Love the way to pave."

"But that's enough for now, my Love..
I'll go and promise stars above!"
"Good bye.. and let us find the lands
Upon which we shall meet as friends."
