Without reservation I
   come to you
And give you all
   my love
My heart is in my hands
...my only offering
All that I am, I
   am because of you
I once thought that
   love was only a dream
Before you gave me
   a reason to believe
Now I know that everything
   that has passed
Happened to make my
   heart ready for you
Such sweet and honest
   devotion could only exist
Between two too
   often broken hearts
Hearts that have cried
   too many lonely tears
And walked down too
   many lonely roads
But this road led to you
   and the new love that we share
And it made all the times
   of empty tears worth crying
Just for the look of love
   shining in your eyes

And the feeling you have
   given me to share
     with the world.

Paula and Jeffrey...

You have coupled together in poetic harmony and done it yet again....

great work... how romantic...

I once thought that
   love was only a dream
Before you gave me
   a reason to believe

My regards,
sudhir

Wonderful poem you two.  Come to think of it, i'm kinda glad that duets only come out but so often, for these would surely dominate the first few pages of passions .
wonderful piece once again

Ladysixstring...the truth is always a powerful thing...thank you

Sudhir...Jeff is an exceptional partner...taking me to new heights in our writing...thank you

Sunny1...thank you...But the credit all goes to Jeff, he is such a talented writer and it is an honor to partner him.

JnR4eva...I dont think there would be all that many duets...finding a partner isnt easy...Im just happy our styles compliment each other.

JM...as always its an honor to have you visit...we appreciate you and your comments

Hand in hand and heart to heart,
They began with a pen for a beautiful start.
But the way it ended, oh so clear,
Two broken hearts now very near!

Very well penned by the two of you.
Well done.
