Promise Me This

by Debbylyn

Promise me this as Springtime from eve to sunrise slips
You'll remember passion's blush as wine upon soft lips
Wind through willow rushes, tender sweet aubade
Plethora of pleasures held when promises were made

Promise me this as ocean tide erases printed sand
You'll recall two lovers combing beaches hand in hand
Gathering shells and feathers left buried 'neath the dunes
Nature's splendor serenading phases of the moon

Promise me this as Winter's icy clutches beckon death
You'll remember fireside kisses, puffs of frosty breath
Fluffy hillside angels, lit snowflakes on the tongue
Smiling faces lined by age, two hearts forever young

Remember then the moments, remember still a kiss
If naught but love belies the deep, Oh promise! Promise this!
