Promises

Promises broken, promises kept, promises spoken...never forget...


 


Power of a promise- words suspended like


icicles, glistening rainbow orbs projecting


artic visions, entombed forever in crystal


flutes, simultaneously sipping nectar


nuturing eternal trust between two beings...


           ~                       ~                    ~


Validity of a promise- reaching deep into the


pit of a scarred temple, weeping acid tears


upon tainted pillows brushed with sincere


intentions, lonely are the words locked in


eternal vaults, banished from worldly light...


       ~                         ~                       ~


Betrayal of a promise- shattered morsels


carelessly strewn throughout a kingdom,


an ancient ceremony thriving, relegating


mortal desires awaiting a frenzied destiny,


loyal in subservient bondage, never freed...


      ~                         ~                        ~


A lone teardrop


             A promise broken


                                A promise kept


                                                   Never forget ~

Filled with hope and beauty. I think people take for granted what promises are nowaday and that's sad. Profound piece.

And, the Lord knew He was the only one who keeps promises: so, He told us to say, "Lord willing, I will do this or that." Beautifully written, Zenith, and so true. ~~Bonnie Q

A profound poem with much wisdom! I learned long ago never to make promises.They always hurt more than they help...

Hard to make, even harder to keep. But some always do keep their promises, and those we call friends. Good write.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
