The Lamentable Oath

We all do things we are afraid of
we lie and kill in the same breath
redemption is hard to come by
when you walk with the shadow of death

Crow Made An Oath

Had heard a crow making an oath,
Nevermore had been bright quoth;
Should not stare,
We did declare;
Became a politician and poet both.

Oh, prithee hear thy lover’s solemn oath,
For thou art more beloved than sweet life,
Anon, thy love wilt cometh with the lark
And makest thou mine wife.

Oath

An oath
The invocation of the divine name
A witness to truth
Cannot be taken unless in truth
In judgment
In justice

Under Oath

Death awaits me on the corner
so be quick
with your
condemnation
and I shall consider
tomorrow’s charges
tangled
with today’s
conviction
and claim
my part
of
just accusation
and
no
more.

Betroth By Taking Oath and Both

Betroth By Taking Oath and Both

This has been happening when we betroth;
What we should always do is take an oath;
Down aisle walk;
Together talk,
Being sure that of these we must do both.

Blood Oath

The knife edge of verse…
a verbal incision,
whose sharpness cuts both ways

Its blood groove runs heavy
with truth dripping free
—to mark the words unsaid

''Oath of the Leper''

Thou who judges a man by disease.
Cares not for him,but only what he sees.
Contrast layers of self emerge.
Paths of the same,intent to diverge.
Thy scorn pain of ridicule concurred.
Will not lash my right of life preferred.

Oath

Said the drop to the earth
       Said the seed to the soil
       Said the wind to the cloud

       Said the sand to the dune
       Said the river to the rock
       Said the stars to the sky

       "Unto you  I shall cherish. "

A Poet's Oath

Creating with words
no vocal chords

passion and desires
hearts be burning fires

for poems are pictures
not bloody futures

for portraits I create
without any debate

through the words I write
hope to bring delight

a poet I am
thank you Uncle Sam

The Father of Satan: Great O Lover

Great o lover 
 O lover! 
You are great!
 Now the illuminating of the Maghrib 
By oath that Azan
 Sworn Adam-Eve's;   
By the oath of Safa-Marwah hills!
 Excuse me!  
O outstanding 
O my guardian,  
O my dear! 
My head and then all respect;
 O my dear Dedicated to your footsteps.

Oath

BOUND BY AN OATH OF BLOOD
STRENGTHENED BY THE ELEMENTS
MAGIC USED TO DEFEND
SWORDS IN HAND
PREPARED TO KILL
FRIENDS BECOME KNIGHTS
THE INNOCENT BECOME KILLERS
THE BALANCE HAS BEEN SHAKEN
AN OATH MADE TO RESTORE
AN OATH MADE THAT SPEAKS IN BLOOD
PROVE YOURSELVES READY
THE WAR HAS BEGUN

Mouthing an oath, she carried on
Milking the cow in cowshed grim.
She only wished she could be gone...
Mouthing an oath, she carried on.
Into the shed sun never shone.
Now milk was spilling over brim!

Mouthing an oath, she carried on
Milking the cow in cowshed grim.

Turkey Oath

I am a turkey yes I am.
I will with be put in a big fat pan.
There is no way for me to escape.
For I will be served on a plate.
I won't shed a tear not one at all.
While I am being plucked and turned raw. 
Please don't cry either when I go. 
For I will be going to Heaven, the best place I know.

The Oath

There’s a wildness in you
Burning like the desert sand
It taints a man’s blood

A fierce promise in your eyes
More glorious than sunset over the mountain
It defies me to say ‘no’

But that’s the only answer
I can offer
For I’ve taken an oath

And I must live it
For honor – for fidelity
Let passion perish

Premium Member On the Backdrop of Your Oath

Touch of any unknown
Unashamedly I say
It is yours's
On the backdrop of your oath!
I spread my eyes till the horizon
No hesitation to admit
Even if you say, its one sided
Its worth!

In days to come 
In my invisible form
You may find the worth of 
Loneliness and tear
Tell you
Love for a moment even  life's worth!
