There are no promisesA Poem by Lady ShadeThere are no promises He lavishes love, exhales eternity Spews poetry, passion, compliments and love with no boundaries Yet I know boundaries exist. There is no way to swear forever To promise faithfulness Eternal devotion Attraction even when time takes its toll There is only now Today Maybe tomorrow But don’t swear for forty years down the line Take it one sweet moment at a time Each memory given its own space in my mind Each kiss its own imprint So I don’t forget If the promises empty over time Every breath I try not to imagine tomorrow Not to plan the future Force my mind to focus on NOW Knowing THEN can’t be as I imagine it When I’ve had one too many glasses of wine And his kisses to influence my dreams There are moments When I hold hands with him Wandering through the day in common complacency Happy simply to BE In love and comfortable in my own skin Imagining this as my FOREVER Dreaming that this will be my eternity Trusting in this emotion Do I dare trust so much? Will this last? Can it? What about fate? About statistics? About history? Where do we go from here? How far do we let go? Wait, how far do I let go? Do I risk it all and dive into a pool that may drown me? Do I trust in a love that may leave me? Do I just keep asking questions until I miss out on every moment before me? Forget it. I’ll just live. Let go when I feel like it. Make love with the moment presents itself. Be in love when I feel my heart swelling and wanting desperately to do so. Laugh out loud because I’m happy, kiss in public because I can, Promise myself forever joy because that I can promise I am my own divine I can make it all true Maybe it is time to stop being afraid and simply to live and love and exalt Maybe it’s time to love me And just share that love as I go And just maybe His love will follow along © 2010 Lady Shade |
