Starless Promise
How can I try for the stars, When I can't even afford to keep it bright? How can I chase the moon through iron bars, When dawn denies me even candlelight? I dream of rings, of veils, of vows once said, Yet pockets echo where gold ought to gleam. The future sleeps on floors I’ve barely tread, My hands still building scaffolds...

I don't Ike promises: Someone can have the best intentions, but life changes, routes change, crisis can happen, even the length of life is unknown Unexpected things can lead a person to change mind A promise has emphasis,; counted on with heart, mind and soul, then suddenly broken into pieces, breaking it all Hurting with a dagger of mistrust that lasts So...

Ashes
Let us start at the end because that is where it all began Ashes I clinched my fist because I did not want to let go I literally watched you slip through my fingers I cursed the day The day I looked into your eyes, lying there On a bed that represented hope Until that moment The moment I realised that you were...

My Word, My Bond
"My Word, My Bond" There were days I lost the fight Chasing wrong instead of right Bad habits pulling at my soul Stress and anger taking hold I slipped, I stumbled, broke and bled I doubted every word I said Yet through the wreckage and the rain You stood...

Untitled, Undefined
I don’t know if he needs me, or if he wants me near, But I can't help wishing I could calm his fear. Whether he asks for comfort or not, I still care, I want to be the one who’s always there. I keep my face calm, though it’s hard to pretend, But inside my heart, I can’t stop wishing...

Just Friends?
He says we're just friends, But if I don’t Talk for a single day, He grows restless, searching for my voice or my text. When I rest my head upon his shoulder, His hand finds my cheek, gentle and caring, —As if protecting something precious. When he takes my hand in his, It feels like an unspoken promise, —A quiet vow lingering between...

that look of innocence and expectation that a future with promises awaits their anticipation of clear blue skies and hope that tomorrow will be brighter that look of unadulterated naivete on the eve of realizing what shape we've left the world for future generations problems of injustice and inequality worse than ever that look that drills right through your soul and asks what you,...

THE PROMISE OF POETRY
I wish you learnt me very well, That is my only dream which to you-I could tell, I will keep you engaged and will entertain, All you need is how to write me and understand me- For certain. I can make you get engrossed in me, And can give you flowers for your heart, I can reduce the pain in you...

Premium Member WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE
Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges, Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones, So must we be as we continue to struggle Along the freedom road to promise Equanimity:- As we encounter walls of opposition built With blocks of injustice, Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho; Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude and integrity Of a people with their eyes on the prize, plowing on...

Words thrown like daggers piercing my soul When you were sent into my life, I was sure it was to make me feel whole the emptiness I'd always known, had started to slowly fade feeling our energies flow so deep and strong, making our bond grow everyday theres no way this can be wrong I fell more and more in love with you...

How Can One Explain Marriage?
It's a promise to laugh at the good. Be silly, spontaneous and comfortable being yourself. It's a promise to be supportive. Be the shoulder. Be the rock. Be the hand to hold each other up. It's a promise to accept. Accept the flaws-the big and the small. It's a promise to disagree. To argue and get mad. It's a promise to forgive. To listen and...
