Promises To Keep

---

[The following one was written when I actually was not able to sleep and kept murmuring-  

Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!, Why I'm not able to sleep?

And, the first line of my poem was born. I decided to pen it keeping the primary sound of "EEP."

Here are the words of wisdom from a sleep deprived man.  Happy Reading!]

Night is there and I’m not able to Sleep

As I’ve promises to Keep.

Slope is Steep and I’m still moving

As I’ve…

The path is difficult with thorns and cliffs,

I’m travelling barefoot, not in a Jeep

As I’ve…

The aim is Horizon even if I’ve to walk on Poison,

My determination is Deep

As I’ve…

Seeds are to be sown and fruits are to be Reaped,

Be it season or bad weather,

I’ll keep moving

As I’ve…

Path is Dire, as narrow as Wire,

I’ll climb or Leap

As I’ve…

People say- My hope will Die,

I’ll keep moving to prove their words- A Lie,

I’ll be patient and not Weep

As I’ve…

My love in the valley pulling me Back,

Heart’s loaded with an emotional Sack,

But I’ll not turn back to Peek

As I’ve…

Will put my foot with Stability as I’ve some Responsibility,

Act smartly, not like a Geek

As I’ve…

Water’s falling as bottle’s got a Leak,

But I’ll keep moving

As I’ve…

At the top promises will be Fulfilled, 

Might lose the reputation that was Build,

But gain will be more than the Loss,

Accomplishment important, not the Spot.

Will run down the hill with higher spirits and Pride,

Only then will make her my lovely Bride.

But, the journey’s not over, I still have my Ambition,

I’ll remain focussed without her Mention.

The rocks are hard and wind’s is Bleak,

I’ll keep moving

As I've...

The top is Reached,

I’ve got what was set to be Achieved,

Now, I can have a peaceful Sleep,

I’ve fulfilled the promise that I had kept- I Feel.
