Vow

Oh vow, oh vow, you fragile thing.
I've torn your flesh and shorn your wing.
Cast you aside for glamorous ways,
Sweeter promises and better days.

And now I know, my sheltering oath,
The way men cry, the pain they loathe,
I ken it too, that void inside,
That great schism, that awful divide.

Oh vow, oh vow, you fragile thing.
Let tend your wounds and mend your wings.
Embrace once more that solemn word,
And soar again, oh lonesome bird.

Ne'er again shall I be lead astray,
By maiden's touch or lover's play.
Firmly shall I wrap thee about
This beating heart, within, without.

Oh vow, oh vow, an oath to thee,
Sworn to thee, as thou art to me --
By flesh compact, a crimson bond,
A spell lain o'er scarlet frond:

Ere maiden's kiss or love mislead,
Ere lust prevail, consumed by need,
Shall blood run free from flesh of mine.
An oath to thee, and thus be thine.

Oh vow, oh vow, I solemn swear,
Through sorrow's gate and portal' despair:
Shall I cling to thee, sheltering lord,
'Cross drowning river or shallow ford.

Cast aside that human trend,
To want, to need, depend.
Cast aside that lie called Love,
And become again, one lonesome dove.

Oh vow, oh vow, thus I plead,
become my flesh, become my creed,
Suffuse my heart, consume my soul,
be not a part, become the whole.

Oh vow, oh vow, you fragile thing,
I've torn your flesh and shorn your wing,
But now I mend it against all time,
and seal it 'way, as this final rhyme.

Beautiful piece! A promise to never break a promise again.

Wraith, Kai...~

Many months that into seasons
With seasons into the years
having past between us...

So many storms with wild winds that have blown
With Zephyr's giving rise on shores of lands so far distant.

Returning to home port
and alas
The Seagull still takes lofty flight into the heavenlies

Grace, Connie

The situation being Kai is that mid-way
in this video there is a line where Eminem states,
"I promise to never go back on a promise."

For me it is just only now, today,
getting acquainted with this latest music
of Eminem...
Thot you might like to give it a listen
