p.r.o.m.i.s.e.s.
and
b r o k e n
d.r.e.a.m.s.
lie
together
in a bed
uncertain
of tomorrow;
a certain distance
has drawn near,
as between them
has settled anxieties
from dishonesty &
a faithless devotion
to a former lifestyle
that has covered one
heart like a prophylactic,
leaving the other all but
protected...
now exposed to spiritual dis-ease
(which is an infection from which
few souls are able to ever recover)
somehow SHE has grown resilient
to the inflicted pain &
the nights when tears fall like rain
HER bond has been loosed
because he has been so resistant to change &
the source of blame for their
slowly
dying
dream
of
eternal
bliss
which was to be derived from
their wholehearted
love
passionate
hugs
and
the
delicate
kiss
of
matrimony
in the midst
of a swelling tide
of an adulterous generation.
little did he know
that SHE was sent to him
<from heaven>
as his salvation
from his own selfish ways &
grown prideful thoughts
which were to be
sacrificed on their alter
of love as a free will holocaust
in display of his offering
to their covenant.
but sometimes
everything doesn't end
happily ever after &
often our sorrows
teach us better
than does our laughter...
