Promises

A linguistic signature to your word, as binding as cursive
I'm never sure if your tongue knows which curves to merge

...seated, contentedly...
with eyes half-closed, half-opened,
as  i take in a view of cool serenity

~­~~~~from my refuge by the sea~~~~~
...where i would be totally out of reach...
.......there, where my phantom fears......
....................d i s a p p e a r......................
