I Promise
I promise I'll love you
Till the end of my life
Not just like anybody
But like my wife
I promise I'll be there
Always by your side
Holding your hand in mine
Forever in my heart you reside
I promise I'll accept you
The way you are
No matter your flaws
Just be as you are

The Promise He Had
They said he couldn't the path was too steep,
But dreams don't belong to the ones who sleep.
With fire in his heart and a storm in his eyes,
He walked through the shadows, aiming for skies.
A man on a mission, his purpose was deep,
A promise to honor, a vow he would keep.
He stumbled and fell, time after

Sunset
The past is fiercely orange,
fluent in the language of the sunset.
The promises are vaguely gray
dumped in the expectations of tomorrow.
Not knowing to hope
or just to reflect
the unknown
sprouting in my soul...

A Bearing of Promise
The assurance of light
During times dark and desperate
Bestows warmth within freezing cold
Where peace from a storm’s respite
Finds home through dangerous shoals
Guiding your ship on the sea of hope
Finding the port of hearts of gold

I Promise You
I’ll be the winds I promise you
Sweet dreams to blow your way
In early morning I’ll be cool rain
To start each fresh new day
No more memories for me
Not worth the cost to carry
Bright sunny days are all I want
And a moon and I’ll be merry
So, if you hear the thunder crack
And see the sky turn gray
Hold

WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISE
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 injustice’s walls of opposition,
Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho:
Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude

The promise
A friend of mine died, and I had promised to
Take his ashes up to a hill and strew them there
Then make robust love to his wife
His wife sat by his bedside and agreed
We climbed the mountain and gave his ashes to the wind
Then we had lunch at a fine café, talking
about what a great

Fairy Comes with a Promise
Twirling her fairy skirt,
a lace and pearl dessert.
His eyes hypnotized by
the lace and pearl overt.
Bells on her fingertips,
this lace and pearl concert.
She gives her all to him
in lace and pearl exert.
Her father hides her in
the lace and pearl turret.
But marriage

That Day Will Come
There comes that day, inevitable day
when God will have had enough.
When His promises, humans overstay
hence, He will have his rebuff.
God's covenants come with a consequence
as we humans play the fool.
His forgiveness appraises disobedience;
and He governs with sovereign rule.
Is it selfish to pray, "Lord, Jesus, come
to take your children home"?
Such brings the destruction of earth's kingdom;
yet

Folded Promise
She wears rainbows in her almond curls
and paints her eyelids with green swirls.
Her cheeks blush with innocent pearls
Soft as her favourite fruit- strawberries.
Mascara wand in her fingers casts spells on me
her gaze a flicker between play and mystery.
She tangles the bedsheets,
Spills glitter on pillows,
pouts for the mirror,
practices smiles and chuckles
All a rehearsal for

## I.
Your absent gaze still scorches me,
a mark from where your touch has been.
The miles collapse like glass in rain,
separation forges its cold chain—
yet still your flame draws me within.
*What keeps us whole when love's fire dies?*

## II.
I search your name through midnight

A Rainbow, A Promise, A Gift
A promise from God, his sign in the sky,
Never again will all unjust men die.
A rainbow appears as His sign to man,
Water will not cover all of the earth’s land.
He’ll not with water, wash all life from earth,
Because of our sins or our lack of worth.
He offers His gift of eternal life,
And gives us the

What Your Voice Promised
You folded a shirt until the seam sealed a sentence.
Each crease was a stamp pressed shut — fold, press, set aside.
You stacked them: unmailed pages, tidy and unread.
In the kitchen you didn’t ask for sugar; your finger traced
our small circle for second helpings —
a gesture still carrying its own grammar.
Silence opened a bureau in the
