   I plead guilty to love in the highest degree.

             But my love isn't of lust

      It is that of the deepest friendship.
Like the deepest blue of the sunset on warm sumers night.

It is that of the warmest passion of sweet lovers.
Like thw warm sand on your fee during a midnight  
strole on the beach.

It is that of the stillest commitment of newly weds.
Like the stillness of the midnight stars on your soul.

So you see if loving my deepest friend, My warmest  passion, And My stillest commitment is wrong;
       than I don't whant to be right.

            And if all this is a crime.
      I plead guilty to love in highest degree.


                                   Steven

Steven, I like the premise of this work.  There were some typos and the layout is distracting.  However, you express your emotion well and I think it is a unique approach to expressing friendship.
Welcome to Passions.

Welcome to Passions. I have to agree with Danny. The typo's and the presentation is distracting. As for the theme of the piece, I enjoyed it very much. I hope to see more of your work.
