a lovelorn lad from camaroon
pledged his darling the earth and the moon
when she demanded them now
along with a cow
he fled to the nearest saloon

Eyes that search, but never see
         Hearts that yearn, yet writhe unfree

       Minds closed tight, that fear to think
         Two troths pledged ~ never linked...

Remember, my sweet Valentine,
the moment you said you'd be mine.
A rug by the fire,
we shared our desire
and pledged that our hearts should entwine.

youngsters maimed by household strife

White satin with lace trim,
Will make the perfect dress.
Wait until the groom sees!
With bouquet in hand you'll
Walk down the aisle with Dad.
Written vows are then pledged.
Welcome husband and wife.

In her aristocratic yet somber hour
Inebriated she phones me
As if I am an oblivious commodity
Though still I feel coerced
To exist within her wake
Even though communication
May be relinquished when sober
An allegiance has been pledged...

Cross-referencing
We are yet In mind
We had pledged
To leave behind

Release, release
Mind-body apparatus
For it is but dust
Why for then the fuss

Bliss in permanence
Heightened rapture
We're ensconced in joy
Mind cannot capture

yellow ribbon tightly tied
on a stem of an oak tree
'tis a token of troth pledged
by two soon to wed.

For all the words spoken in pain
I'm sorry
sometimes it's hard to see the hurt words can do
 When I pledged my heart
vows were made
and yet you're still in pain
Sorry
forgive me
are words as well
 They may be spoken from the heart
when eyes are truly open
only then does forgiveness start...

We
married
in
the month
of May and
on that 
day,
before
God, friends and
family, we
pledged our love
one for
the
other
forever, 
then sealed
it 
with a
kiss.

“By God anointed…”
religions claim,
then fight to steal His throne

Devotion pledged
in false pretense,
to become the greater known

A figurehead
to suit their needs,
they break His every rule

To seize with power
these ‘Chosen Ones’
—intentions harsh and cruel

Treat me as your equal
the dog sleeps outside
not me
 don't look away
don't become deaf to my plea
we walk together
I'm not the one who chases the stick
 Remember me
the human
the one you pledged to love
my death has not come
why do you treat me so cold
 love is only a word
one that has lost its meaning
its value has moved on...

Lost in the darkness a life of you & I
Your mouth waters, love & hate you taste
My heart a flood gate, left wide open
A mistake
Your no good
Now my heart is stolen under your skin I pledged my sins
You filled me with chilled delights
You have become a drug I crave
I am addicted to your addictions
Am I loosing my mind or,
Crazy for making you mine....

as I watch the sun 
fall to the edge
of nothingness 
I look to the
nights shadows 
street lights dim
and flickering 
the corridor
I would never
walk down 
I pledged to myself 
to leave would
be to stay 
as she fell deeper
into her dusk 
the raw smell
of decay and
sewage musk 
to hold on
would mean 
survival to her 
bright exposing day...

hand to word and
hand to hand
like a combat
man to man
word to word we spin
and spin and spin
with the words within
my power your power
spin spin spin
exhausted we stop
something in the way
bias we say
embrace and sigh
to begin anew
seeing eye to eye
pledged not to deny
we finally do begin
again and again

INLAND

stoking the flame
here for the ride
sum of our parts
beat of our hearts

goldfish approach
swimming afloat
lost in vast lands
building on sand

inland

happiness waits
pledged sanity
hitting the keys
musical three’s

pose-able you
in cloudy skies
personal brand
alone we stand

inland

Draft an Article a den of soul slackers
No room for sanity humanity elected crackers
Uncivil ones to fail the civic duty pledged
Ride a rift split society - drive a wedge

Trail Trump slumping stumps winded carpetbaggers
Talking heads robbing hoods all cloak and daggers
Riding herd wicked turn charging alibi
Stuck off bicker batter were all gonna die...

Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful 
As a face in a crowd of people 
That lights up just for you? 

Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful 
As when you wake 
By the side of that boy or girl 
Who has pledged their love to you? 

Well I have known all these things 
And the joys that they can bring 
And now every morning there's a cup of coffee 
And I wear your ring....

Her tears soak her pillow at night

She is clinging on with all her might

Never wanting to let go

But knowing that it must be so.

To him she pledged her heart

Sadly he wanted to part

Now she wishes to make him stay

Its all she thinks of everyday.

so under the pale moonlight

She spends another sleepless night

Wishing for him to stay

To spend the night in his arms always....

Placid haven between the mountains

Accentuate the idilic romance between

Romantic couple who was enjoying

Anniversary celebration for the ten

Days of a second honeymoon

Inspired by the sacred vows

Solemnly pledged with an amorous 

Enchantment for an eternal lifetime

I view the art you so vividly display
I am moved in the most sensual of ways

You set me to dream of passions edge
The caress of your promise so lovingly pledged

I gaze at the art and dream of the lover
Wishing only we could be uncovers

Such spiritually erotic whims you do thread
I confess I will soon forget all poetry read

I will embrace the poetess and take her to my bed...
