All the dreams I dreamt
Will vanish like the morning fog
When at last I awaken,
And something tells me that day is come.
Still that final goodbye echoes fresh—
Oh, how we, both she and I
First kissed as the sun went down.
Will she ever return? I cannot say.
The door creaks.
A sudden whiff of the lost and familiar…
A day with her lost among the days without.
Once more the door creaks.
Who is it?
I have no voice left;
The last candle is almost out.
“Just so you know, despite the darkness and despair of some of my poetry, here’s a glimpse of the more hopeful and soulful affirmation of my personality” Anyone laughs, I un-follow!
PROMISES
You ask if love’s forever
A promise I can’t make
But if I could, or thought I should
I would not hesitateI’d promise you forever
And then a day or two
If I were free to guarantee
Forever loving youBut promises are born of doubt
A doubt that’s seldom real
The love we know can only grow
In trusting what we feelYet, I’ll promise you this moment
If words can still your fears
Just hold me now and show me how
To love you through the years
