Promises Poem by Stevie Taite

Promises

Rating: 5.0


He sharpened his tongue before he came
I had ears shielded with understanding
Innocently I had follied, too horizontal
 He was vertically vexed
I was rehearsed, tail tucked, eyes downcast
He was ready to prompt me, with poignant pauses 
I knew my lines and I meant to mean every word
I cannot act to save my life
When it was done I let him own his smugness
And I made promises I would try and keep.

 

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
How did this happen again? I have been here before. Drinking to much and being foolish. Regretting it and having to face the wrath of my husband, bless him, the next day.

I cannot act to save my life......... perhaps love can't tolerate any acting. In this regard, poet has done its extreme perhaps. Much lucid the expression with finest words. Spontaneous and nice. Thank you.....Pranab k c 10
