“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.”
Karen Marie Moning

A promise should never remain silent. In pursuit of our principal pledge - I ponder her secret garden, within the province of our paradise. For her love is an Utopian secret supernova, shining celestially - through a canopy of olive leaves. Where I hope to stand motionless, lost in her redolent radiance so my soul searches for the path of plum slate and golden stepping stones, leading to her idyllic untouched flower garden. Admiring evocative vibrant petals, wishing to float like a million butterflies, breathing blissful blessings - upon balmy bewitching blossoms I shall surround myself in her artistry, enchanted with her ethereal tranquility. Love remains secure within her elusive oyster. My ink will emulate a million subtle reflections, until reunited with my precious opulent pearl. Simple Musing Silent One 31 May 2020

I was unable to be online for a few days because my modem stopped working. We had no T.V. or internet. So I am giving you belated congratulations on your POTD honor. “Admiring evocative vibrant petals, wishing to float like a million butterflies, breathing blissful blessings - upon balmy bewitching blossoms“ absolutely gorgeous lines Silent. Blessings xxoo

Thank you Jennifer, they are two different poems for POTD and POTW.. It is a trilogy, with one final part remaining to write.. Decided whether to have a happy or tragic ending!

"A promise should never remain silent." Very true! because a promise is not meant to be broken. Splendid piece .
