WHY ARE PROMISES MADE?
Why are promises made? Why we need to give assurance for the future to someone? Does it not create some sort of obligation, some binding in the relationship? Why don’t we just go and give all the feelings to the relationship in such a way that both the sides know some silent, unsaid promises will always be kept. Promises have captured such an important part of our life, infact I am feeling that the foundation of all the pious relationship starts with ‘promises’.
I see myself in mirage of your promises
rather than in mirror which you hold.
Why are promises made?
Has the sky also promised mother
to shower rain,
light the night with stars and moon?
Has the air also promised the leaves
for thrilling life,
unending growth and balmy love?
May be yes,
May be a promise made in silence!
Why are promises made?
Why enigma spirals around my life
And you need to give me
derision binding with some subtle words
languid in falseness.
I collect your warm raindrop promises
on my palm, hiding it from sun
But with a fear when barren will appear,
these raindrops will turn vultures
gashing every portion of my soul.
I can’t see now ladder of your promises
but derision binding of my expectations.
Why are promises made?
You always draw love aroma by promises
Assuring me that you are always by my side
You are just a treacherous hunter, hunting my dreams
Please, don’t bind me….
Even I know you are just bystander
But I love to hear your words,
these falseness, meaningless
even when I know they are metaphors, fairy tales!
I love when you captivate me within promise bars
and I love to shout, “Why are promises made?”

wow. what timing; i am so with you, due to the last year's experience with a now ex-lover. i think i will work on a poem
about some of it. (have already posted one or two at least, over course of the year.) i know that when i was younger
i would say whatever someone wanted to hear, having no integrity of my own. so i can understand it but still unable
to tolerate in someone close to me. even though the Course in Miracles says that only loving thoughts are true
and everything else is a call for Love. ah, well, give me a few more lifetimes
So beautful. R. Hood/Sunsetheart
Really beautiful. I loved this line: these raindrops will turn vultures
