This is was submitted and accepted to the main Passion's site. It was submitted then under the name Thoughtful Dreamer.  All the nights we laughed and talked, Of deepest thoughts and untold truths, Stay on my mind as I think of you. Your life has taken a new turn. Bridges not yet crossed are even burned. As you tread your path anew, I sit on your heart as a friend, Like a whisper kiss of morning's dew. As I think of your words, Your thoughts and your voice, I wanted to tell you to hold you head high, And set your jaw at a determined level; For you are deserving of much, Despite all you may have done. We have all sinned my friend. We have all tested, Then plunged deep into the water, Of temptations, Coming forward as wiser people from it. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Temptress~ Enjoyed especially this line - 'I sit on your heart as a friend, Like a whisper kiss of morning's dew.' Exquisite. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

wonderful piece, really enjoyed it. 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 |
