Promises

A promise means nothing unless backed by the heart,
A promise is something from which you never part.
I will not make a promise that is too steep,
Therefore, here are some promises I intend to keep.

I promise to love you until the end of time,
And I promise to cherish you like a rare wine.
I promise to adore you like a rare stone,
And I promise to warm your body with my own.

I promise I will never hurt or mistreat you,
And I promise you that all that I say to you is true.
I promise to take you in ecstasy every time we kiss,
And I promise that every time you are with me you experience true bliss.

I promise I will never leave you lonely or lost in hard times,
And I promise to always be with you in love sublime.
I promise to please you for the rest of my life,
And I promise to respect you and honor you as my wife.
