Promises Like Pie-Crust

Promise me no promises,
So will I not promise you:
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true:
Let us hold the die uncast,
Free to come as free to go:
For I cannot know your past,
And of mine what can you know?

You, so warm, may once have been
Warmer towards another one:
I, so cold, may once have seen
Sunlight, once have felt the sun:
Who shall show us if it was
Thus indeed in time of old?
Fades the image from the glass,
and the fortune is not told.

If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again:
If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were,
Nothing more but nothing less:
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess.


i think i am alright now.
i dont try to think too much for others.
maybe i shouldnt write my own poems for my book.
i will get people to write them for me.
i am quite troubled.
i think i didnt break my fall properly yesterday.
i am in pain.
i am going to the gym with my scraped toe.
i think i am okay.
but you are superably intelligent and i am not.
i hope i realises God's gift for me.
i will go to the bookshop.
to buy my obession.
maybe that will make me smile.

i forgot to thank joshua, for the lovely pictures he shared with me.
it is beautiful
for its the faces i love.

beauty is in the things we love
and beauty is the creation He made.

i hope i learn to love life, not the world.
i hope i learn to love people, not judge.

pray a prayer for me if you see this,
that i will snap out of my self induced meaningless depression again,
it is when school starts,
and loneliness overcomes,
and i cant find peace with myself again.

i will sing, i will praise
even in my darkest hour.
so make my heart right,
even if i cannot fathom all of your goodness.
