Promise

by Sheye Blaze

Love surrounds my heart
Your hand running through my hair
The way my name sounds on your tongue
The silk of your voice in my ear

Emotion pouring from your soul
Feeling my lips against your skin
Your whispered plea for closeness
My hand curled in the hair of your chest

The way that you know me,
The way that I know you,
The connection we have promised
That is not to be broken

what promise did you make
your hand in mine clasped so tight
with your love wrapped in mine
am I now the wife of your heart?

what promise did I make while
your strength held me so tight
with my love wrapped in yours
are you now the husband of my heart?
