A Promise
A promise glimmered in your eyes
as you planted passion in my heart
harvesting a tale in elegant calligraphy.
My weary head rested on your shoulders
and in a fervent feeling of faith, I fell asleep,
waking up in a warm winter night dream.
In your clasped hands my fingers interlaced
malleable hope, in soft pastel of a sunrise
a white pearl shined in promise of oyster
You made me believe in the impossible.
a lost faded sky emerged in your horizon
swimming in clouds, no voice of reasons.
Promise to come back, spring swore autumn
resonating sea waves comfort distant sand
You too said, "I do"...
but don't know why you didn't.
