My Oath

By Gray Vision

I sat by your side
While you got situated in bed,
Your tender hands embraced mine
As you succored it firmly, against your booming chest.
We locked eyes temporarily
As you gradually drifted off to rest,
I felt your grip loosen
As I observed contently,
The way in which your breath held
And escaped your very chest.
Your luscious,
Vibrant,
Full brunette head of hair,
Lay motionless against the sheets,
Stopping just shy of my rear.
I abandoned all initial plans I made that day
Without the slightest care,
For to be here with you, at this very moment
I deemed to be exceedingly rare
With my palm absorbing the pulsating rhythm,
Resonating within your chest,
In that moment I vowed, to cherish this heart,
Forever in the safety of my caress.
Everything about your current complexion
Exuded the embodiment of peace,
Which lead me to wonder
How many times had you been a victim of grief,
But these thoughts quickly dissipated
Upon acknowledging my solemn vow,
For I decided to take a stand
And that stand, begins now.
