The Promise of Love...

...is the most beautiful gift of all.

In its youth, standing proud and tall

Ready to denounce critics...snarl.

Thus it matured, knowing its creaks and faults

And lingers to its last recall...


Comes a stranger, meek and mild

Giving credence to a life where none shall lie

The gifts of love now like ashes fly

For a Promise to Honour and Obey

Her love walks by...

I gave my word...

...to love...not just always, but worse, all ways!

Now I find, what I thought was just mind and body
Is a love that ideally, should be of the soul and spirit too.

I know I said I would be here for you
But I can’t...please...please don't ask me to...
...not while you learn to love someone new.

When you are lying in my arms

The moon twinkles and the stars beam brilliant
...when you are laying in my arms

All warm and cozy


The flowers radiant the colours more fragrant

...when you are laying in my arms

With your face resting under my chin


The rain gentle as the breeze that's so wet and cool

...when you are laying in my arms

Your arm wrapped warmly around my skinny rib cage


The sun weeps rays behind translucent pink clouds

...when you are laying in my arms

A leg thrown over not so skinny thighs


The world in a blaze as traffic idles

...when you are laying in my arms

Brushing your lips along the curves of my face


The storms are a tempest of calm

...when you are laying in my arms

Both, breathing in the delight and mischief we bring each other


And in the rising dawn...

A rosary prayed with so enduring a faith

Whilst I lay sleeping in the warmth and tenderness of your love.
