Listening to every heart

Keep Me Promise

Curled words penned in womanship lines
Are as dear to me as anything
Tacketta-tacketta’d to keys dancing
Across blues grays brownly greening mirrored eyes
That stare my own thoughts
Back to retinas willing to hold…
And yet, even that form shapes a bond

And if I missed a comma, never mind
Though meaning changes for want of,
But I have missed my periods, too
And the life they gave back then.

Nothing new, she says, nothing new in the way of
What,
As if a tomorrow would go on without,
All the while she feels shallow,
Knowing others know depths she hasn’t plunged into,
Just yet.

Who knows, they say, what tomorrow will bring?
Appointments, for some, spaces of drawn out
Lingering for others, and most of all,
Some regret at choices made, for the very few
Who have time to think
Of such things.

But oh the joy in choices good.

Some say, whisper prayer, some plead
Think of me; some, even, say nothing at all,
Knowing that them that know, know…

Keep me promise.

For want of a comma keep me promise.

~*~

For those that know
Adversity.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Yes...beautiful!
Hugs YOU!

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.
