Promises - Promises
If a promise understood the spoken word
would it ignore the roar of devotion's cheer
or disregard
the sight of a despondent tear
Better...
it bond the two hearts
than falsify its token pledge
Because...
its grasp
just might quell that offensive urge
and thus
defend the heart from tormentor's dirge
chastising
the inconsiderate tongues that swell them
~
Keywords mistyped
in letters dear
where finger strokes
and angry thought combine
so sadly...
that one flawed phrase
inclements
and forever storms our minds
~
If promises could interlace with beating hearts
Perhaps
tears could find defence
from poison darts
