[Kewii]

Okay, this is what I found:

Passion.
It lies in all of us.
Sleeping...waiting..
and though unwanted...
unbidden... it will stir
...open it's jaws
and howl.
It speaks to us...
guides us...
Passion rules us all.
And we obey.
What other choice do we have?


I hope it's the right one

yep ! that's the one

thx

here's the full version ... i so love that poem !!!

Passion

It lies in all of us.
Sleeping … waiting…
And though unwanted, unbidden;
It will stir, open its jaws and howl.

It speaks to us… guides us…
Passion rules us all and we obey.
What other choice do we have?

Passion is the source of our finest moments.
The joy of love…
The clarity of hatred…
And the ecstasy of grief

It hurts sometimes,
More than we can bare.
If we could live without passion,
Maybe we’d know some kind of peace.
But… we would hollow
Empty rooms, shuttered and dark.
Without passion we’d truly be dead

FYI, in this context it should be "bear"

It hurts sometimes,
More than we can bear.

As in the meaning of to bear as in "to have tolerance for; to endure." Bare, on the other hand, as a verb, means "to strip of covering; to make bare"--that is, something else entirely. Usually, I let these misspellings go, but since you're quoting a poem, I feel obligated to speak up in defense of the English language. I apologize.
