Poesie Ring by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI couldn't sleep last night
got so quiet I couldn't help but reflect
on the millions of things
in my life
I'd rather have been different
but now it's too late
Like the so many promises
empty like the vacant lot on my finger
where a gold band oughta be
I have to pretend that ring is there
imagine the gold
envision the engraving
'Vous et nul autre'
hugging my finger
just below knuckle
I can daydream the scenario
countless ways of asking
for a lifetime of love
but none of my Billboard fantasies
and Valentine's Day dreams
can make it real
...
make it real 02/20/2003 Author's Note: Mina is impatient.
