A touch soft and tender A whisper full of desire A gasp of sweet surrender As passion fuels the fire No words spoken between them No promises to be kept No lies being told tonight No looking back, no regrets Longing to hold each other Such precious little time Both vowed to another Being lonely their only crime Tomorrow bringing sorrow A brief moment of shame With the memory of this one night A release from passion's flames All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Beautiful~ Bridgette "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown |

Hey Jeffrey, did you just like, vote for yourself? ROFLMAO  j/k I hope to God Ron doesn't allow that, otherwise this will fast become a mess! hehehe Hey, this poem really "belongs" in the book, in my opinion, because of the story, so many of us can relate to. Kind of that "online" thing, you know? Very nice! |

Tomorrow bringing sorrow A brief moment of shame With the memory of this one night A release from passion's flames wonderfully written Jeffrey, to the top of the page and my vote. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

I saw my Love last night for maybe the last time, at least around here where I live. Without going into many details, Jeff, we didn't exactly share in the scenario you described, but there are many elements in there in your offering...well, if you only knew. Much pain, but Eternal Devotion... for both of us. If only... So well written, Jeff. Hope you don't mind that I print this for myself. Peace, Geoff |
