I promise

How I wish,
I could promise you this,
That I'd never leave your side,
That for ever and ever,
I shall be your guide.

And how I wish,
I could promise you this,
That you'd never have to cope,
With fear and sorrow...
And that each tomorrow,
Would be filled with with happiness plenty.

Oh and how I wish,
I could promise you this,
That come what may,
We shall not part ways,
Together we shall walk...always.

But promise you these things, I can't.
For dear, life is uncertain,
And you and I know not,
What hardships it may bring,
and when He may draw the curtain.

But, yet, a promise I can make,
I promise you this,
Sealed with this kiss,
That I shall love you,
Each day, more than ever,
For as long as I live...

Friends

A trifle afraid,
Somewhat flustered,
Very excited,
Rather clustered.

We pour,
Into our first class.
Surrounded by faces unknown,
To and fro, our furtive eyes dart,
And at each other we stare,
Till to speak does one dare.
...
...
Time passes...
Soon, with smiles on our faces,
We meet.
With a pleasant wave,
Each other, we greet.

Bonds form,
Knit by experiences shared,
Glued by secrets deep,
Secrets that we promise to keep.
...
...
Time flies...
Our friendship strengthens,
As the time spent together lengthens.

We hang out when free,
We catch the latest movie,
And our friendship blossoms,
The time we spend together is just plain awesome. (:))
...
...
But alas,
When do good times ever last.
Before we know,
It is time,
When we must part.
And onwards on our life's journey,
We must depart.


The last few days,
Pass quickly away,
Sorrowful eyes,
Bid each other goodbye.
...
...
Hopefully we continue to meet often,
To look back on the fun times spent,
To regale each other with stories new,
And tell tales too amazing to be true!

For friends we were,
Friends we are,
and forever,
We shall remain.

A Love Letter

Your lips curl up into a smile,
And I am beside myself with joy.
A sad tear runs down your tender cheek,
And I wallow in despair.

Each word echoing from your lips,
Is like the ringing of sweet bells.
Your laughter is intoxicating like wine,
Always leaving me wanting for more.

Your eyes, the depth of the ocean they hold,
And mesmerize me whenever I look at them,
Your silky hair, in the cool breeze they sway,
And enamored by these locks, my heart does sigh.

I could keep on writing things about you, my love,
Trying to state how much I love you,
And yet, just as an artist can't do justice Mother Nature,
My word's would never do any justice to my feelings for you,
For no matter how hard I try,
My words shall miserably fail
At trying to capture my love for you.
Still, I attempt to surmise:

The memories of the time spent with you remain etched in my heart.
And the hope of getting to see you again,
Is what gets me through the toughest of ordeals.
You are my world, love,
You are my world and much more.
For if it weren't for you, my love,
I'd be nothing...nothing at all.
