Moonlight Promises


In a garden tended by love and care, 
beautiful scented roses bloomed as 
they grew,
Under a heart-shaped trellis, two young,
sad-faced lovers sat on a bench arguing 
about a moment of regret,
With trembling lips, each pleads for 
understanding, to forgive and to forget,
Neither noticed how a gush of wind 
scattered the rose petals, showering 
them with it as it blew.

Under the glow of moonlight, promises
of sincerity they pledged,
Giving clarity to lingering shadows of 
doubt still making them feel on edge,
A tender embrace and whispered words 
of love reassure, mending trust and 
professing loyalty,
These moments, in memory, reaffirm 
commitment and give feelings of 
assurity.

Hand in hand, they walked feeling proud 
that their actions to resolve their issues 
showed maturity,
Living in a world of disposables, both 
knew they must learn how to bend 
like the trees when facing the storms
of life’s realities.

Relationships truly are nothing more than 'disposable' to many today, as if it is normal. Lovely write of trial and commitment Zy :)

Dear Zyrool, your poignant poem is a beautiful expression of love, compassion and commitment where communication, remorse and forgiveness is needed to grow and sustain a true, rich and deep love. Your last three lines are a grand finale to an exceptional piece. Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan

I felt this to be excellent in thought and rhyme. You opened an area of relationships that many forget, that being sensitivity and adapting. True love will win.
