Comments : I Promised

  • 14 years ago

    by Ray Smallshaw

    A rambling but wonderful love poem, filled with insecurity as if the love was going in one direction and you feel as if you are being used. Yet I would if I had been who you wrote the poem for or to have taken a deep breath and felt my heart beat faster and with meaning.

    But I promised you today that I would love you forever
    Until the light from the land disappears into eternity
    Until time slips and falls through the broken ice and
    Freezes and slowly passes away.
    I promised you
    Today I would not love another the way I love you
    With such intensity that it over powers me into a dance
    Of joy and makes my heart leap out of my chest.

    Love is a wondrous thing that can pull emotions onto a page from a poets pen and bring tears to the eyes of both the reader and the writer.
    I wish someone had written the words above for me.
