Sand Promises

(Sand Promises) Sand promises drown in tides. Washed away leaving tearing eyes, broken dreams in evening sighs. Sadness one attempts to hide. Sand promises are like lies. Born when human dreams despise an innocence that meekly tries to build on weak, foundation-ties. Oh, to find a fortress, strong sandcastles to caress, grains of promises at their best. Water and sand, a washed-out mess. We pray that truth will be expressed. Promises of sand, confessed, before the cheated heart, depressed- watches the gradual tide’s conquest.
