Illusory Promises
Solemn promises are often easily made
Some remain unfulfilled, while some are broken
Silently one reminisces till a few fade
Sadly, others forever remain unspoken
Obscurity of these oaths is illusive
Overwhelms people with mixed emotions
Oblivious to joy they remain delusive
One day manifesting in mixed commotions
Battling the fears of betrayal and chagrin
Barely one copes with failure of fragmented vows
But a quest to discover hope does begin
Blindly to pursue this if one's soul allows
Afraid to get trapped in a labyrinthine web
And get deceived by some feigned relations
Alas! These promises like tides that ebb
Are lost completely as muted expectations
