Broken Vows

Moments held with tenderness
In memories deep and dark recess
Of when our love was in its Spring
We unabashed by anything

We kissed and cuddled open air
Our love was blind we did not care
About the stares that we received
They were just jealous we believed

A taste we had and wanted more
Our love was burning to the core
Filled with an insatiable lust
We never gave a thought to trust

However time she has a way
Of setting trials shall we say
That try our dearest loves desire
Engulfing all in lustful fire

Making our faithful feet to stray
Breaking promises we made that day
When we stood near the altar grand
Holding tight each others hand

In health we promised, sickness too
Was it all too much for us to do
Should we all read the vows before
We promise all for evermore

Thank you for your kind review. We now live in an age of broken vows. Quickly made and quickly broken. Best Wishes Andy
