Promise

You said you saw what none other could see
you said you saw promise lying deep
inside me

Promise in the way that I smiled
the warm glow in my eyes
that flicker ever so slightly with possibility

You said promise lay in the awareness
of my cinnamon soft skin that ignites
underneath your roaming hand

Promise within a fervent sweet mouth
meeting yours passionately

You said you felt promise
in my long sculpture legs
wrapped tightly around your waist

Promise in the hungry way
our bodies entwine
and the momentum of our harmonious
sensual dance

You said you heard promise
not from the words I spewed
but from my body which
spoke it out in volumes
in the fluid release of vibrations

You said holding me in your arms
the spark has been ignited
a Promise made will exist

Promise lay within me
a small beam of hope
inside the darkness
of a broken spirit
seeking purchase, seeking light

Promise struggle to find the might
A promise to keep
through doubt and disbelief
through pain and tears
it finally emerged
from its darken shell

Nine months later
I finally held promise
a eight pound baby girl
a promise made of your seed given
