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.

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Your ending here is so beautiful and true.
Nice write on what it needs to be and what isn't most of the time.
Relationships are work and they take that promise to survive.

Thank you Josie ain't that the truth :)

[Sanober]

Such a beautiful longing.....to spend each day in tender romance..to be loved, respected, and accepted for who you are. Wonderfully expressed, my friend. Your poems are always so sincere...straight from the heart. no pretenses, no fancy words. just pure emotions in pure words. great poetry.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Love is often not conducive to survival. Evolution promotes survival of the fittest while love promotes sacrifice. The strongest souls recognize that a surrender to love is not a sign of weakness, rather a testimony of their fortitude.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Wise words Xavier .Thank you :)

[Brittany Zedalis]

This is a very beautiful romance poem. Great job! :]

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thanks Brittany :)

[paddy d daly]

the fourth stanza demands a lot , but fair is fair as you describe in the last line, did I detect a little bit of W.B. in the first line of the third, nothing wrong with that though, overall a really good read.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Paddy yes I guess you did detect correctly lol
