Love Poem No. 44 : DEAR PROMISE

DEAR PROMISE

Do you remember that dear promise made

To take me over to the glorious land?

Why remand to reach the shore

And swim across the channel quick?

            Let us break all bondages there

            Of all the chains that keep us slaves

            And revel like larks in open skies

Conquering regions yet unknown.

Let us spin the thread of life

In a fashion unheard of

To show the world that it’s not worth

Not to live a life like this.

            You and I wild in dreams

            And passions parallel as we know,

Why waste all the gifts bestowed

And hop as fowls devoid of wings?
