I Solemnly Swear

universal truth
when politicians promise—
the poor always pay

Premium Member If I had met you in another age, when time flowed more slowly and solemnly

If I had met you in another age, when time flowed more slowly and solemnly,
I would have written your name in vivid ink, on parchment that preserves eternally,
I would have escaped to secret libraries, where silence embraces stories,
On the margins of old volumes, I would have laid down my devotion.
But here we are, in this age of screens that silently shine,
Where affections are mute, yet my soul recognizes your rhythm,
Even now, when the cold light surrounds us like a foreign mist,
The bond between us transcends time, a secret dance of hearts.
In the flow of thoughts, I feel how time trickles like a quiet river,
Every moment with you is an eternity engraved in pure gold,
The world seems to forget the magic of words written on old parchments,
But we find each other, two souls traveling through endless ages.
Even in this century of technology and pointless noise,
Our souls meet, vibrating at the same eternal frequency,
Love and devotion are not bound by time or fleeting form,
But by that deep connection that finds its way to the light.

Life's Portrait

In the duskiness of loneliness ;
Lying me covered with a darker coat,
Thou seeking a smile of gentleness

Ray of joy, brightened the plot.
Love that worthy, paid the price;
Hopefully carried me to farther spot.

Made me walk in eternal grace,
Having holy garments solenmly white;
Made a life of glorious days.

Thou the darkness served without sight,
Faith led me to something great.


Solemnly I

life has been fine
and my dream was to refine.
God damn it be like you
forever you not.
time has comes in no counts
with my wish to see what's over the edge,
to my surprise a lot said nay,
and I wonder why..
Solemnly I
promise to remain as I am,
in my dream of how soon I will begin to see mine,
time has fulfill twice
and to my surprise it's rising
for the mingle will not jingle...

I Solemnly Do Declare

I solemnly do declare
That I had wet me underwear
I got an awful scare
It was pink and purpley and bare
When I looked inside there
And had a mane like a mare
With a one eyed snakey stare
I actually screamed, I swear
When I noticed the neglect and care
It was as big as an ant bear

Until it said "Get a life"
I said "Phew" the thing in the bed is just the wife
Good night

I Solemnly Declare

when I slip away 
my words I'll leave behind 

our intimate memories 
entwined in a whisper, 
only you will find 

my love you have made complete, 
in peacefulness I will sleep 

it is only the world I depart 
I will remain ever true in your heart, 

In the quiet times, be not afraid, 
I am near you-as close as our first kiss 

you can believe me when I tell you, 
it is only you that I will miss, 

I will treasure all that you are, 
and all you are yet to be 

I love you so dearly, 

our love this meaning 
I solemnly declare 
should I come round again, 

it is with you my love, 
my life I choose to share 
for all eternity to remain 

...this love I declare...
