Short Vowing Poems

U.S. Governors take a 'Hypocritic Oath'
Vowing stubbornly to be blind to both

  Whatever contradicts their beliefs
  Or might give their citizenry relief...

Love is 
Overcoming the bad and being their golden star 
Vowing to protect them no matter the cost
Everything else will never matter more than that one person...

Within her eyes, once I lifted the veil,
Elation, I found, in shimmering tears,
A happiness vowing love would prevail,
And it has, indeed, through decades and years.

Two young kindergartners kiss
holding hands on the playground

I am in love with you

Loving you is not hard to do.

Open your eyes and see that it is me,

Vowing my self to you, you see?

Even though we argue, I still love you

Yearning for you to love me too.

Open you heart, mind, and soul, and

Understand why I love you so...

alone in the dark
followed by my heart
trying in vain to keep pace
bitting my tongue
choking on words
just to save face
fearful doubtful and yet still careful
I plunge head first into the unknown
knowingly knowing it is God himself
I am oweing
vowing to get it right finally
I prepare for the finale finally...

The
esteemed
servicemen
honored today,
on this November 11, 2020,
gave their lives for our sake --
We honor them by vowing
we shall never forget duty
to God, country, and compatriots.

They would murderously fight in bed, 
Prompting the question 'why did they wed?'
Actively blowing away the guy's money, 
And suddenly ceased to call him 'Honey'
Publicly vowing to dissipate his income, 
All his efforts at leverage a bunkum
Now, he's striving to the evil way chart, 
And ceaselessly trying to break her heart....

Father, forgive me for I have sinned...

I confess it all, repenting complete
penance handed down from a curtained confessional
kneeling, I beg for Your forgiveness
vowing to tread a righteous path
knowing in my heart, as I depart
I will still wrong others
that Satan always comes creeping back 
and tonight, I will sin again...

What romantic dream drives
Two minds to become one heart
Vowing till death do us part

What kind of passion
Moves two souls to unite
And truly become husband and wife

What love doth inspire
A man and woman to combine
Becoming one for a lifetime

What kind of fool
Waste time trying to define
What has been ordained by the Devine...

Listen to poem:

Hero’s Park
David J walker

Stunning…

The number of small flags
Flying …

over the graves of the
Brave men and women 

Who in living and 
Dying.. 

Gave all they can to a Nation 
vowing 

Never to forget
Lest we forfeit 

All they fought for and 
And lived for 

And all who in
Remembering what 

They died for
Keep  the memories alive...

And the silence
Speaks words that were never said
Vowing to never be forgotten
Until we lay dead 

In the quiet
Our eyes close
Holding in the moment
For what it’s worth
Only to breathe in deeply
To let it go

Outside, in the dark
My gaze wanders afar 
What do our futures hold?
No longer bound
But never whole?

Rending a heart
But sealing a mind
Finding ourselves
Now that we’ve found time...

Kick rocks my brother
go on about your way
I Should have never 
gave you the time of day

Kick rocks my brother
I'm so done with your s_ _ _
I'm through with your A_ _
you just ain't worth it

Kick rock's my brother
leave me to mend
licking my wounds
vowing never to fall
victim to lust again

Kick rocks my brother
I wont say it  again
you broke my aching heart
butt..... it wont happen again...

Like a gentle breeze you call to me
Showing a path I so desperately seek
Far from this life I know
To a place though I've never been somehow I know
Unleashing all the passion inside of me
Filling my days with happiness and nights with ecstasy
Standing before me offering the path
Vowing this is not a dream, and this feeling will last
So I take your hand and follow you
Together we face a life that is fresh and new...

A Golden Band

Love is holding your hand,
 and asking you to wear my golden band
 Vowing to share a life,
 together through good and strife
 You will always be mine,
 and I yours, all through time
 Together we will open all new doors
 Together we will do all life's chores
 We shall have all the time for love,
 and be guided from heaven above
 So come with me and hold my hand
 Please; say yes, to my golden band....

Standing before me you offer me this path

 Suddenly swans descend on a peaceful pond,
breaking the silence found on a lonely bench.
I follow every graceful move as though we were dancing
to music only shared in moments golden.
I wonder if they notice the intrusion
on their evening swim.
It is as though time has stopped and allowed a gift.
I stood and walked back into my world,
vowing to reflect when I need to smile.

Partnering with death, poverty
Of hunger and homelessness
Seek the equality of all—Vowing 
Never to discriminate;

But their perpetrators
Continue to control the odds
Favoring a hued majority;

A hued majority remaining
A minority concern as their opioid
Conditions are not prescribed—
Just over the counter cash addictions;

So odd be the ways of mercy and equanimity
When it comes to the hued like you and me;
How odd....

It is relentlessly our intent
To do the right thing.
Why then do we relent—
A bird with broken wing?

We make earnest pledges
Vowing to fly higher.
But they fray at the edges—
Caught in self-made mire.

We would strive to be
A friend of welcoming ways.
Except they quickly flee—
Gliding through wasted days.

We pray for a resolution
To these earth-bound misses.
But we forestall a solution—
Opting for self-inflicted hisses....

Vessel I am of the Lord
voices thanksgiving praise
victory from guilt's wrath
vanquished by love and grace...
verily acquitted
victim-sinner, now freed
vibrantly shouts, "Thank, God!" 
vowing to share blest hope*.

*Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Milk and cookies to dunk into the night,
smiles are full of chocolate endorphins;
Filling to the brim decorative tins,
comfort food says everything is alright;
Vowing to eat just one but lose the fight,
sharing with those unexpected drop-ins;
Milk and cookies; 
Every one is devoured now you just might 
taste just like a bunch of sugary grins;
Amidst all the unwavering chagrins
your clothes may be hugging a bit too tight;
Milk and cookies....

I believe you will come back
Even though you left so long ago
Vowing to never return
And cursing your homeland.

I believe you can hear my cries
Begging you to come back
To hold me once again in your arms
And to feel my lips on yours.

I believe you dream of me
Hear my voice in the wind
See my face in the water
And feel my heart beating in your chest.

I believe you truly love me
Your heart just doesn't know it yet
I believe in you
And I always will...

Victory* is wrought by God's grace

Vanquishes greatly evil’s might…

Vilified yet held thru love’s brace!

Vowing to conquer thru faith’s fight;

Valor shown midst failures’ tempest

Vying against selfishness’ quest…

Verily yells prevailing praise!

*1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
