Love Poem: The Future Is Bright

The Future Is Bright

Promises of the future
        shone brighter than today
The air cleared, the fog lifted
        Lifted the mist from my eyes

Promises of love and protection
        Passion and fury
Ironic hatred of unfelt feelings
        Of misery, of passion, of pleasure

Promises of heartbreaks
        Pain and remorse
Of peep shows, pep talks and
        Mid night walks

By moonlight, by candle
         My cradle and breast
An unearthly suckling
         Will my heart arrest

No cryptic clues
         No tangled secrets
I am my own, and yours
         And that's how i keep it

Sunset dies, moonrise begins
         My own is fated to a deadly sin
Gluttony, Greed, Sloth or Lust
         I am fated to be alone until my moon dies
