Poem: I would promise to love you forever

Good morning everyone! Here's a new poem for you.

It's a little longer than some of the recent ones. I thought four verses were enough to deal with eternal love, the inherent fragility of civilisation and how fleeting life is.

So, erm. Enjoy.

I Would Promise to Love You Forever

I would promise I’d love you forever

That my love will always be true

Then I remember deep in the Mexican jungle

There’s some bones who once said that too

Those bones (when alive) did promise

Sat under a tropical canopy

That the love they shared then would last forever

And continue through all eternity

But the problem is the world changes

Now their society no longer exists

All their love poems and songs and works of art

Lie rotten, forgotten, not missed

Right now our way of life seems so stable

But the opposite probably is true

So I’ll give you my love right here and right now

Until civilisation falls I’ll love you.

Thanks for reading. Please do share the poem if you liked it. There's a lovely sharable version below, but far better would be to recommend the post. That way people get introduced to my work and might even consider following me.
