Pledging

 Wouldst thou callst me thine

My heart thy pleadings yearns to hear

In moments fleeting ever divine

I wish thou closer, bide thou here

The moment nearer draws 

As two now one becoming

Breathing, living pause

To witness vows forthcoming

Listen and Witness

Earth, Wind, Air, and Fire.
Listen and Witness.
I swear not to betray this trust.
Not to stray from my vow,
Not by look or illusion
By deed or by thought,
Through touch or recoil,
By waking or sleeping,
In speech or in silence,
In absence or in presence,
In this land or any other
Less fire burn me,
Air smother me,
And water cover my grave

Bound

Hands fast bound

Binding two hearts

Circles unending

Entwined evermore

Words exchanged

Merely placeholders

Carved on hearts

Promises made

The spell is disbursed

But never forgotten

All present are witness

To a singular miracle

Two joined as one

Because sometimes we all need a little help (Untitled)

I found a Computer Permutation program and played with it a bit.  I had to add, A LOT, when it was done.  It didn't do well at all with non nouns involved, but after I figured that out, I was good.  Then I took then word soup it spit out and wrote the poem from there.  I hope to do better next time!

The Creation of the hills is but a small fairytale

Our Heartbeats bear witness

We Spy in a field the irresistible elephants

Stars pity us

The Word we bear is but a ruse

A Horse startles at something she cannot see

‘Tis a curiosity nothing more

The World favours Gold and White

While they are lovely

We only have imitations

The Ends justify the means

Whistle while we wreck the boat

Painted strings

What little time we have we spend visiting

Earth bears witness

How silent it lies down

The Wind Blows around the Island

It starts
