Promise

I knew in the light that shone on your lovely head, that awoke the jewels in your eyes, and the diamonds in your smile, that it would never leave... Not once more would I ever breathe an air as sweet as that you've breathed once upon a moon-kissed college breeze. Oh, if only to touch your skin, drench it like the hot, naked rain as you purse your luscious lavender lips and dance away on your bar-sooted feet to be the sun that lay beside you in your bed as you awake if only to feel your greater warmth and your heart beat, just once, for me. The nights we laugh and shoot the breeze are enough for a lifetime of memory. Yet always will I find matters of the heart difficult deserts to cross when all alone. A kiss, a death- but not for a moment I wept, for I shall ever feel... your presence in my heart. By your side, a servant to remain happy and haunted by my silent sin. Seeing this end, I trudge onward unflinching eyes wide open, fearless, to certain doom.
