Why are promises made? Why we need to give assurance for the future to someone? Does it not create some sort of obligation, some binding in the relationship? Why don’t we just go and give all the feelings to the relationship in such a way that both the sides know some silent, unsaid promises will always be kept. Promises have captured such an important part of our life, infact I am feeling that the foundation of all the pious relationship starts with ‘promises’.
I see myself in mirage of your promises
rather than in mirror which you hold.
Why are promises made?
Has the sky also promised mother
to shower rain,
light the night with stars and moon?
Has the air also promised the leaves
for thrilling life,
unending growth and balmy love?
May be yes,
May be a promise made in silence!
Why are promises made?
Why enigma spirals around my life
And you need to give me
derision binding with some subtle words
languid in falseness.
I collect your warm raindrop promises
on my palm, hiding it from sun
But with a fear when barren will appear,
these raindrops will turn vultures
gashing every portion of my soul.
I can’t see now ladder of your promises
but derision binding of my expectations.
Why are promises made?
You always draw love aroma by promises
Assuring me that you are always by my side
You are just a treacherous hunter, hunting my dreams
Please, don’t bind me….
Even I know you are just bystander
But I love to hear your words,
these falseness, meaningless
even when I know they are metaphors, fairy tales!
I love when you captivate me within promise bars
and I love to shout, “Why are promises made?”
people make promise because they never know exactly what they should decide

Neilina – Thanks woody green, for stopping-by! I am thinking how people can make decisions for some unpredictable future. Why can’t we think of present, and give our best to it….the best will surely link to the future.
i think they give that tiny ray of hope to survive among this uncertain life.
Neilina – Promise as hope! Nice BlueMist. But don’t you think that they are overrated….as Meehon commented.
sometimes obligations give a sense of security, to both the people infact, the one who is obligated, and to the one who is promised..
Neilina – Yep Rambler, obligations give sense of security. It will be so good, if instead of giving words to someone, we will keep with ourselves and make a promise with ourselves. Don’t you think that way, the vibration of security will be more.
promisesare like hope, but usually they are overrated
Neilina – Yes Meehon, I also feels this way.
