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.
