My Promise

What can compare to the unlimited sky?
Keep on going, "the sky's the limit",
While our hearts lag of golden rye.
I taste some happiness in it.

Is not joy time's precious metal?
and a smile better then bitter wine?
Could this also be your sturdy lintel?
Handily walking the worlds wanting line.

I promised myself a chance, to change my hearts defensive stance.
In no world is loves sweet success sure?
We were made to see its allure.

I wish for a life where trust is not the illusion,
and loneliness is no longer loves apparition.

ABOUT THE POET ~
I'm Andre Rodriguez. I have been writing for many years. The style and topics of my poems vary wildly, but I believe most have a spiritual overtone. I write about love, God, attitudes, observations and growing up. Poetry is a big part of who I am. I believe my writing defines me.

    The Perfect High
    by Shel Silverstein
    There once was a boy named Gimmesome Roy. He was nothing like me or you. 'Cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do. As a kid, he sat in the cellar, sniffing airplane glue.
