The Promise
#1 of Misc
A list or promises. That is how this poem came to be. Last night, feeling alone and down - worse than I had felt in a long, long time, I lay in bed and typed out line after line of 'promises.' These were things that I wanted and that I wanted to give to another. Rather than merely post a list, which has very little substance to it, I chose to put it together as a piece of loose-formed poetic content. I am not a poet by any means, but nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it.
Hold my paw and walk with me,
down the street and by the sea.
Look into my eyes and set my heart aflame,
And I promise that I'll do the same.
Take my breath away and sweep me off my feet,
be elegant, kind, and sweet.
Hold me close and whisper my name,
And I promise that I'll do the same.
Make me laugh and make me smile,
so that my cheeks do hurt after a while.
And do play a fair and honest game,
And I promise that I'll do the same.
Be patient and there when I need you most,
and when I need it, please hold me close.
Know when to be wild and when to be tame,
And I promise that I'll do the same.
There will be times that I will be most frustrated,
but remind me there is a reason of why we mated.
For there will be a time and place in which this to proclaim,
And I promise that I'll do the same.
But above all else,
Be true to yourself.
And I promise that I'll do the same.
