Notes About The Poem
5/24/2026 for Language of Love Poetry Contest sponsored by Ink Empress
A Promise of Forever
A marriage bond is to keep, not sever,
and yet, I made that sacred promise - twice.
We pledged that we would not part, not ever.
Those words, like lovely music, sounded nice.
Of those unions, just memories survive,
some good, some bad, and some which I hold dear;
and those couplings which fate once did contrive
would slowly and painfully disappear.
In a myth, Charon forever ferried
souls, as always, one special love, now gone
and ghosts of each woman that I married
will ever bitter-sweetly linger on.
A memory, and nothing more - or less,
honors a promise of foreverness.
