~ My Solemn Oath ~

By Dean Kuch

Faint ghosts adorn thy pillow top,

they catch my gaze, mine heart doth drop;

detached soft strands of silken hair ,

all that remains, as thou aren't there —

I beg thee, bid this pain to stop.

Devoted wife, with each teardrop

shed high from lofty mountain's top,

with broken heart, this pledge I swear,

my solemn oath to thee...

Undying love shall never stop,

as spring rains breathe fresh autumn's crop.

I pray one day to find thee where

warm endless summers whisper there —

my solemn oath to thee...
