 Release From Passion's Flames 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 I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Well sir, of course my first impression was of a NC. country honky tonk. Then upon my reread I realized it was just my fantasy! Well no matter, It was a very good decription of a one night stand. marina |

Very beautifully expressed I like it when a man expresses passion in his poetry, especially when it's well done Liz |

I can't say that passion without commitment appeals to me. I guess I'm old fashoned... but I still enjoyed the poem. Good job. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Jeffrey, this is good. When I grew up I was told never to use the word "I" in a poem ----- so though I write them with the word 'I' many times -- I do enjoy reading one so much without it being so personal. OH my passion is flying ----have always wondered what a one night stand would be like - how one would feel in the morning This is good and very well written. netswan |

Jeff, I think everyone knows the pangs of love unattainable. The sorrow that coms with trying to attain it is immense and you captured it very well. David2 |

This apparently slipped by me a couple of times, but I finally caught it...and if this is the "other side" of you, Jeff, then it is certainly your better side... |

Sometimes loneliness is the worst crime of all, Jeffrey. Certainly the one found most unforgiving by the rest of the world. Good poem, my friend. Michael |

Very pleasing to my senses tonight. Excellent writing. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
