Promises

Accept me.

                           Promises

Walk with me on a deserted shore,

Share a sunset with me before it is no more,

Let us entwine our fingers as we entwine our hearts,

And wax poetic about never being apart.

 

I want you to be a man of your word,

To believe in me before my defence is heard,

I want a reason to believe in the happy ever after,

Even when reality intrudes with its mocking laughter.

 

Handle gently my dreams because they are easily broken,

Understand my desires before they are spoken,

Look into my eyes and fathom my story,

And find out the truth before harbouring theory,

 

I am so quirky my temper is hot,

Make peace with me when pride tells me I must not,

It seems so much to ask of any man,

But then you accepted it all when you asked for my hand.

How romantic, to present the terms by which will ready the significant other for a life with you, and to have them give themselves to you without hesitation. Well done, it sets a calming pace and speaks of dreams and expectations with a warning, made even more graceful by his willingness to live by you and embrace you as a whole, faults and perks and amazing traits and all.

It is easy to be kind when you write something as beautiful as this sweet Vidya. So much love and affection fills your words today. Relationships take a lot of work and lot of compromise as does marriage...but when it works out it is so worth while. Beautiful my friend.

Such words coming from you Jack means more than you know.Thank you very much my dear sweet friend

Romance lives - hooray! What a delicate chain of loving words, they're so honest, so down to earth even to the 'quirky.. hot temper'. The entire post is YOU and nobody else, saying 'i'm yours, flaws and all - you're who i want and love, please treat me gently and more.' What else can a woman say.. in public!

[Vidya Bacchus]

This was truly a lovely review and touched my heart.Thank you Emma Joy :)

I love this poem! Its so heartfelt and romantic and dreamy and fairy-tale like! I kept reading, waiting for the part where she realizes it's all just wishful thinking and then, boom! Turns out she got her happily ever after after all! I also love how this is a no-frills poem, it doesn't require fancy words to make the readers feel what's trying to be portrayed. Really well written :)
