I Come To You At Night


I come to you at night
And tell you all my desires
All my thoughts of hopelessness
About adventures through passion's fires

I give you dreams of hope
And of lessons I have learned
About all my triumphs
And about times I've been burned

I'm glad I found a friend
I could tell my secrets to
Without worries of being judged
I know that you'd never do

You always make me smile
You have that special way
About you that comforts me
Even on my saddest days

So, for this I wish to thank you
To all of you I say this
I am forever greaful to you all
For making Passion's what it is


******************************************
This is for everyone here. Thank you for always being so kind and tender, and for listening when we all need it most.

All my love,
Jeffrey

Sweetheart what can I say other than in the lonely darkened hours before the sun shall rise upon our face we seek within and talk of passions felt...

Many is the hour I've woken up at dawn and shared the odd post..

Thank you for writing this, because you are right, we do tend to confide in our passion friends thoughts that we keep to ourselves. It is a warm and friendly place and you make that much more so with your wonderful poetry

that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Way to go Jeff,

A great tribute to this place without walls and often without faces, BUT with lots of more important things like love and sharing and caring, openess and loving honesty.

Great poem.

Thank you for sharing the thoughts of many of us.

It is a pleasure to dwell within the walls of Passion's family.

I would like to thank you all again. You have all taught me so much about writing and life in general. I wouldn't even be on the net if PiP didn't exist. I have said before and I say it again I LOVE THIS PLACE and every one of you. I have been a bit distenced from here lately, but it was only because I chose to take a break from the net and concentrate more on my writing. I am in the middle of writing , possibly, a novel, but I think it will be more of a short story.
Anyway, Thank you's go out to all of you again. Yes, even you Christopher LOL
