Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

A Love To Promise

We'll stay in sacred dreams our kiss unfolds
To love until death's night falls on our heart
And presses hard last breath our body holds
Only then will we ever be apart
To wrap love's arms tightly in tender dance
Allow wounds to vanish beyond our realm
Light and melt candles with flaming romance
And enjoy love's power to overwhelm
To know peace when our hands wrap and hold firm
As we walk along in life's dimmest light
Unafraid on a path of no return
To love without fear knowing what is right

    A love to promise that captures each tear
    A secret told and whispered to each ear
