I Promise

Just be careful.

I Promise

Two little words

So simple

So impossibly complex

Do you really mean

I promise

Or are you saying

OK

Just go away and leave me alone

And I’ll do as you ask

I promise

Or perhaps

I will follow you to the ends of the earth

A commitment of personal character

Or of love

Or both

Or neither

I promise

Even though it is Impossible

Or merely improbable

I promise

Simple words

So abused

Spoken daily

... words I can never say lightly, being the over-cautious type! I find that they bring a weight of responsibility with them which is as damaging to self as to the "other party" if they are breached. A very provoking subject which is powerful in itself as well as in the way in which you deal with it. Thank you, Kate xx

So true! It's a phrase we use much to flippantly!

So very true Patrick. I've said this so many times...and truly meant it. Only to dash the hopes of those I'd spoken to. Well done!

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
