Premium Member Periwinkle Promises
Close your eyes
inhale roses-
love-glazed steam 
of insatiable thirst;
place your thoughts 
upon my heart,
feel my 
voice s w i r l i n g
in sync with 
periwinkle promises 
whilst devouring 
unfurled petals 
facing ebony skies, 
tenderly sketching 
silhouettes with 
vanilla drops;
for you and I, 
we are...

Premium Member Soft Is the Sea-Sand Promises
Along the feathered edge, a red sun-sets
To bind the evening in dreams eyes explore
Two hearts will greet, till' paradise begets
Love leaves impressions as waves swirl to shore
These caps of white will churn warmly the sand
The world will pass, the change of light is missed
Lonely eyes...

Premium Member Panorama of Primrose Promises
 In the valley 
    of violin vines,
    when the saffron sun ascends,
and crooning clouds 
   drift in mulberry cadence, 
I let my quivering quill harmonize
mystical moonbeams 
splattered across 
  hushed horizons~
with sparkling strings

He pours out a world
Fresh colors and blazing suns
Emerald landscapes
Seas of blue and green
All of God’s promises drift
Across my mind’s eye

Promises and Wishes
Wishing Well by Juke55 @ Deviant Art



I circle from pale to shade,
countless steps
around the abandoned well.
Wasted wishes rest 
in dried-up depths, 
we perish
in its hollows. 
Promises break
but wishes will wait 
to be retrieved,
            ...

Premium Member Sand Promises -POTW
Flip flops and straw hat adorn him, beach wear suits him nicely
Kind is he to her as he scoops into a bucket measuring precisely

Casted are his piteous passions in sunstruck warm sands
Gently shaping and capturing her likeness, she is in skilled hands

Stooping over chin to...

Promises In September's Magic, Collaboration With Nik Canada7
“Promises in September's magic”
“promesse nella magia di settembre”

Sweet September arrives again, 
hearing the celestial melody and 
symphony of a nocturnal wind 
calling your name, beneath a 
shimmering rain of stardust, my Venus.
I picture your rare beautiful soul 
gazing at the glowing moon, 
searching for mine...

Promises
You look into my eyes and pretend to give me
your whole world
and I open my eyes to take it even though I know
it isn't there

how can I hold it against you when your false promises
were the only thing that kept my blood pumping
this year...

Premium Member On Waves of Broken Promises
I dared to chase that elusive butterfly
of love until he landed in my heart.
Caught up in wondrous fascination,
I placed my trust on its fragile wings
but they crumbled all around me
in broken promises lying on the ground.

I was betrayed by my heartless butterfly,
used like a pawn...

Premium Member Promises For An Unknown Love
I am dreaming of you tonight,
though we  may never meet
but if  we do,  you will know me
by my hyacinth shoes.
You will remember me in the pale blooms
that float on
billabongs or ponds

I will take you along dusty streets
an outback town, where currawongs
call at...

24  PROMISES 

Waking up in the arms of fire.
Ashes all around, burning  picture frame.
I see nothing, the night is dark as can be.
I look up and see my father crying over me.
At this moment, I'm confused.
"AM I DREAMING!"
"AM I!"  

I feel and...

Broken Promises
Promises, Promises...boldy broken
I spite these words when hastily spoken
The act pledged is almost never the issue
  it's the scanning of priorties...somehow they missed you!!
You would never have held breath and waited
  But the promiser spoke, declaritively stated...
"I will..."  "We'll Go...." "Real soon..."...

Empty Promises
You time my heart
Day and night
you see my innocent heart
Night and day
you think of me 
Day and night
You fill my heart
Day by day
With empty promises
You fake a smile
At night fall
When I need you the most
You fill my heart
with empty promises
I thought I was wise
Days will...
