The Vow

SerenWise

The softest sigh,

Scraps and fragments

Of an unfettered gasp,

Half-murmured words 

                                         tumble...

From your divine mouth,

From those lips I love,

That hold a secret.

Perchance

I were to seek it -

I would offer a kiss,

And in the quiet moment of

                                             parting...

When the world

For a single instant

Stands still in reverence,

I would learn -

It's not a secret after all,

                                         It is a promise...

    Beautiful.

  • Fay Slimm.

    Some beautiful words weave their gentle magic around this reflection on romance - another sigh of a read Seren.

  • dusk arising

    I read your piece several times and the picture which came into my mind was of awaking with ones partner and the sleepy coming together when words are not needed but sounds will out.

    The promise of each morning's bliss.

  • Neville

    very well writ.... and thoroughly enjoyed...
