I Promise…

(Rough Copy)

Just one look...
That is all takes to reveal your secrets
No walls stand between us,
Through the clouds and the rains
Your heart has always known mine
Exposing the nakedness of our souls
Which came together through Divine Design. 

There are loves which pass, like day turns to night
There are loves which chain, bringing forth a life sentence
Ripping our foundation 
Tearing down our independence. 

There are loves which taint the very essence of the heart
There are loves which turn condemnatory, rigid and afar
Loves that take without care to give back
Hearts so empty, they won't ever be satisfied. 

But then there is the other side...
Loves that care
Loves which release us to fly
Loves which when we hurt,
Helped us walk through the dark.

There are loves which heal 
There are loves which sets our fire free
Loves undetermined...
Wild yet sacred.

Loves which build 
Loves that live within each memory
Souls we met before we even knew them
Connected by a love which transcends time
Loves so raw, they scare us
Yet through them we find ourselves.

There are loves like Lotus flowers 
Loves that survived life's muddy waters
Getting stronger as time goes by
Enduring the test of time 
Loves, like you and I. 

Loves which do not make sense to the world
Loves that do not care for their permission
Forbidden loves they call them,
For they do not fit the norm
Yet the fates watch over these
As they thrive despite the storms.

The flame of my love vibrates in your blood
Where the boy met the man 
Once more becoming whole.

The flame of your love became my fuel
Now the once afraid girl, embraces the woman
Permission be damned...
My wings, once more I expand.

I taught you to live
You taught me to fly
I taught you to love without reservations
You taught me to let go of all hesitations.

Between us, there is no need for pretty lies
The heart of love resides in freedom
In moving forward, one step at a time. 

I shall promise you something which can't be broken
Something which cannot be taken apart
Something that comes from the deepest part of my heart.

I shall love your light and I shall love your dark
I shall love you when weak and when strong enough to stand
I shall love you throughout the day and night
And you shall come to know without doubt
No matter what life brings,
I shall always have your back.
