Promises To Keep
Today, after waking from an impatient sleep
I went to the window and threw open the shade,
remembering that I had promises made.
There were those promises to my new lady.
Recent, torrid, and a little bit shady.
Yet there were glorious feelings to reap.
I promised her my love forever,
all my respect and attention, whenever
and vow to close my distance from this maid.
I would ply her with poems and rhymes,
with chocolates, and odes repeated a thousand times
and remembering my promises to keep.
My respect, devotion and all my attention
to her, I give freely and with true invention,
a trust that I do not dare evade.
I will lift myself up to her and offer my heart
only if she returns love none can pull apart.
It's difficult to make such a leap
But deep inside I have not swayed.
