Samantha’s Unwritten Vows
The aisle stretched longer that day, a white river with no other shore. Her fingers crushed the lace of her gown— Where is he? The guests’ whispers grew teeth, gnawing the silence between hymns. Later, they’d say he was the villain, the man who fled his own shadow. No one mentioned the envelope thick with cash in the sexton’s pocket, or the father’s wine-stained lips sealing...

Premium Member If That Wasn't Love
"If that isn't love The ocean is dry There's no star in the sky And the sparrow can't fly If that isn't love Then heaven's a myth There's no feeling like this If that isn't love" -Dottie Rambo How can this screeching ache persist deep in my bowels? Like he's continuing to rip my heart to shreds everyday. The promises we whispered ...

Premium Member MOONLIGHT UNDER GLASS
There was the last dance A final movement of the strs Through the heavens that No man can own The last night before roses When moonlight performed on darkened waters and promises were made Softly as the moment That would never come again The Atlantic was so old So deep in velvet mystery And words have never meant much To sleeping gods I wish now that Neptune had arisen His...

Eclipsed In Light
"Eclipsed in Light" The sun grew dim the world stood still Golden waves bent to our will The sky was veiled in shadow’s grace As fate had led us to this place With whispered vows and steady hands No crowns no thrones no golden bands Just fire wind the endless...

The Choices She Made
She stood beside him, vows once true, a promise bright, then burned right through. She wore his ring, she spoke his name, but love to her was just a game. I saw the distance in her eyes, a quiet hunger wrapped in lies. Smiles that never reached her face, a heart already out of place. She wanted more—what, I don’t know, something reckless, something...

The Wedding Vows of Lucian to his Poetess Silvia
(A lone voice whispers) Bind me not to only a taste of love But to true divine friendship Bind me not to only love But to the warmth of our wet hungry lips First thing in the morning And last thing at midnight Bind me not to your words of commands to embrace But to the sweet tranquil noise of two crashing hips Bind...

Marital vows in dust
Stunning beauty! Her face truly was. She was shaped more like a lovely vase. Her steps left footprints of lust. My marital vows, in dust. Drunkenness painted her with no flaw. Liquor whispered love to her hearing, But when she turned, beer stopped its cheering. Booze brewed my sins with bare hands! My shame buried in the sands. Then, devil took over the steering. ...

Awaiting the Ebb Tide
She chose to think his sweet talk lies were cute… that things he said had value worth pursuit. that substance would emerge, somewhat astute. And while his words of love she wants to feel… she ambles through their world hoping to heal. She fears his selfish frost is hard as steel. These past three years recalled with misty eyes…...

Timeless Vows
Solemn vows are like embroidered stars at night. They tantalize like diamonds; They shine forever and bright. Soon enough, your name will be inked to my heart. Every day I will immortalize you, Just like how you made that bouquet of peach flowers. Its scent will live in my mind. From the start, I knew your love was as promising as your...

Premium Member Ledger of Love: PART I
Ledger of Love In the dim-lit chambers of the Victorian home, Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome. Once, love’s flame burned bright within her breast, But now a thin whisp, a ghostly jest. Her gaze averts from her husband’s weathered face, As she tends to her duties with an air of grace. Yet within her heart, no ember of affection...
