Premise of Promises

A Mystical Meditation on Inner Light and Devotional Union

The premise of promises, sustenance of passions,
unsurmountable, insoluble cradle of ardors and dedications,
devotions and amities, which, uninterruptedly reverberate and resound,
chants of permanency, perpetuity, resilience, and robustness,
resonate and ring, and roar and repeat,
embark on and conceive, flabbergast and pertain.

Your attentiveness, awareness, and responsiveness,
the chest and torso, burst and erupt,
the ruptured and fractured heart,
enthralls and compels, beguiles and enchants,
rivets, grips and expands—

You; the entireness, wholeness, totality and fullness,
the abundance, profusion, lavishness and copiousness,
then, me; fountain of cravings and yearnings, the thirst and desire,
vaporizing and boiling self, not an oddity, just the burning candle,
to embrace, cuddle, and clinch, the traces of dancing, twirling and swaying,
the shadow and shade, the track and trail.

You, the adorable gist and core, the enduring butterfly, tenderness and fondness,
the dear master of allurement and enthrallment, the creator of the shadows and shades,
the ardor and fervor, to mend and rectify, despite the shaky, rocky encounters,
to surround and enfold, stroll and saunter, and straddle and span,
then, me, the glimmering, glowing candle, the flickers, zests and sparkles,
the miracles, wonders and marvels, the halo, annulus and aura,
solemnly and earnestly shall arise myself to the harbor.

You, the territory of contemplations,
the arena and dome of allegiances and dedications,
the pitch and tent of tranquility, serenity,
to recuperate and convalesce, retrieve and reclaim,
the provider, the source and donor,
the course and manners to explore and ponder,
the sage, guru, and mystic,
to stipulate and postulate the probes and prods of,
observations, clarifications, and annotations,
then, me, the galore of passion and urge,
the crib and cot to buds and blossoms, of creeds, credos, and convictions.

You, the entity, being, the unity and fullness, to destine, decide and fate,
the advocate and sponsor, the plead and assert,
to expand and proliferate, prosper and propagate, to murmur and mumble,
while, the masts of variations, alterations, and revisions, are sparkled with,
relapses, reversions, and setbacks.

You the participant, the partner and cohort, the tap on the shoulder,
while, the conundrums, riddles, and posers, bear and endure, rise and abide,
while, the mercy and love are carved and curved,
the stroll and spree, to show and entail, to survive and fare,
and while, the stories and jaunts, the carols and songs,
forbade the phantoms, specters and ghosts.

Pillars of revelations, raptures, blisses, and exultations,
amend and adjust, reveal, divulge and unwrap, refine and purify,
the abandonments not to entrance, captivate, or spellbind—
ensuing chains of intrigues, fascinations, and enchantments,
or, the locus to your turf, venue to halo, absorb and entice.

Intensity and vividness, your proximity, the ecstasy, trance and thrill,
rhymes, ditties and ballads, enunciate, articulate, and charm,
while, the train and track, trail and stalk, shape, whittle and mold,
it is you, your narrations, reverberations and recitations to echo and ring,
not the encapsulated, condensed and summarized, tails, myths, sagas and fables,
and me, the seeker, chaser, and striver, having your cover and shield within,
the binary and dual souls and wills,
not hard to deem, the fusion and blend have been unified and perceived.

Stanza Analysis

Comprehensive Analysis & Commentary

Themes & Interpretations

The Burning Candle

“Not an oddity, just the burning candle.” The normalization of self-sacrifice in devotion—the candle exists to burn, to consume itself creating light. Devotion is not extraordinary but natural function.

Chasing Shadows

The speaker seeks “the traces of dancing, twirling and swaying, the shadow and shade.” The beloved creates these shadows intentionally—devotion to indirect manifestations as genuine gifts, not inadequate substitutes.

The Ruptured Heart Expands

“The ruptured and fractured heart… expands.” Breaking is not destruction but transformation. The heart must rupture to become larger, to expand beyond previous capacity.

Mystical Union

“The binary and dual souls and wills… have been unified and perceived.” Union achieved while preserving duality—fusion without erasure, arrival without dissolution. The harbor receives the ship intact.
