Promise Poems
The Present
by Rahul Ranaganath
We all know the path
which had come across.
We live in the present
by the promises of future
and lessons of the past,
If the lessons are weak and
the promises mean to break
The Present has no meaning.
Here is the question
What are you gonna learn
......
If I Stay
by Raina Hutchins
If I stay will you hold me
And comfort me through my tears
If I go will you miss me
And live with regret through the years
If I stay will you kiss me
With the passion you used to show
If I go will you let me
Be someone you used to know
......
Would you?
by Sumit Maurya
When the sun goes down
And my shadow will leave my side
I will be alone in the dark just like a blind
Would you not calm my mind?
When the mud goes thick
And the path goes hard
When my legs will swell
And I will fall apart
I will look for your hand I will wait for your sound
Would you not calm my mind?
......
Fleeting promises
by Lynda Grine
Can you blame the dragonfly
To announce the arrival of new seasons
When you prayed for time to stand still
For it, too, has its reasons
And fleeting promises to fulfill
Promise me
by Mohammed Irshad Shamsi
Promise me. Promise me you'll stay.
And I'll write about you all my life.
Not about your soulful eyes which led me astray.
Neither your hair with which I'd like to play.
Or that smile which hides and betray.
I won't write about that which decay.
I'll write about your madness which has no shelflife.
About your teasing of which I'm afraid.
About your victories in games and my strife.
