Love Poem: Pride and Passion

Pride and Passion

Heads held high, inclining for the stars, 
  Swells the pride in each and every breast, 
Burns the passion, blood like kerosene, 
  Ignited by the drive to be the best. 
Dreams wrought concrete by the steel of will, 
  Fused upon the pages with desire, 
Images and script in perfect state, 
  Pride and passion, earth and wind and fire. 
Goals and targets swept before the eyes, 
  Dominoes that fall in synchrony, 
Love and honour, emblems burning bright, 
  Torches held aloft for all to see. 
Dreams made fabric, tapestries of faith, 
  Drawing plans together, cast entire, 
All that we have ever sought to be, 
  Pride and passion, earth and wind and fire.
