Love Poem: The Oath

The Oath

There’s a wildness in you
Burning like the desert sand
It taints a man’s blood

A fierce promise in your eyes
More glorious than sunset over the mountain
It defies me to say ‘no’

But that’s the only answer
I can offer
For I’ve taken an oath

And I must live it
For honor – for fidelity
Let passion perish
