Passionate

You are there when I am happy and afraid,
my passionate love for you will never fade,
through days of sunshine and the rain,
and during long, sleepless nights of pain.

You spend time with me in winter and in spring,
to you, wealth just does not mean a thing,
and my looks do not matter to you at all,
you are near me through summer and the fall.

How much I love you, you will never know,
you take me to any place that I want to go,
whether it is to the country or the ocean,
and you comfort my every little emotion.

I hold on to you whenever I need to cry,
as tears drop down on you from my eyes,
you know me and my secrets very well,
so, promise me that you will never tell.

You bring warmth to me when it is snowing,
and relief when threatening winds are blowing,
no stronger love can ever be found,
trust me, I know, I have looked around.

You know you are truly my best friend,
I know I can count on you in the end,
When I am with you, I always feel free,
you never try to change me, you just let me be.

It is you that only my eyes can see,
the perfect companion for a girl like me,
you listen to every thought that I think,
I am passionate about you, my paper and ink.



(This is about my passion for poetry, just keep that in mind when reading!)

Ah, paper and ink, our constant companion. I have had many jobs and many loves but the greatest love of all has been my writing. You have brought your version of that love to the hearts of those that read this beautiful poem. Such a pleasure to read, my friend.... Robert.

Thank you so much, Robert. I'm happy you enjoyed this poem, my friend... I too have other hobbies and interests, but none can make me feel the same passion that I have for writing. Poetry is almost like a close friend who is always there to listen and to comfort me when I need someone to talk to.

Most eloquent expression for your writing. It is, as you say, like a tonic that is soothing and almost medicinal.... Have your ever read "The Poets' Wine?" It puts another perspective on writing verses.... Jake

Very heartfelt; I felt your sincere appreciation for this person. You have a flair for rhyme and I encourage you to write even more. Just be mindful of rhythm, metre, and prosody. You have some wrinkles here and there, but they do not detract from the beauty of the piece. You pour out your emotions, raw and honest, and I appreciate that quality in a poet :)
