Promises Enduring Weight.

She who has imbibed of life’s gaiety I could request nothing more of Her fervent ardency has rooted deeply Ever burgeoning upon the pedestal of spirit Her love my burning constancy Eons of our lives pass she now wanes away Each memory a pebble pulled out in tidewaters Misty whispers dissipate far from my ears I quail away in misery hiding on dusty shelves Sealed in the bottle of her words Avariciously arresting at echoing feelings She moves away as of ripples on a glassy tarn Knowing I shall find her as I descend the depths Deeper in the blackness of spent lifeless years My future drowning in my past Covered in filths mantle I carry my someday Despite the febrile appetite of lovelorn carrions Aspiring to talon off my resolve devouring my flesh Strewn with my bones the pathway impedes me Washing my days with numbed anxiety Cannot hope prolong strength for the road before me A taste of maybe satiates my thirst for the moment I trod on blindly with instincts weighted burden Fulfilling my promise to adore her until end of all things Her love my burning constancy
