Two Rings

by Philip F De Pinto



The time we slipped on two rings
And whispered to each other things

Which never and nee'r
Came to pass
But we lie here neath the grass

Forever and ever
Left to wonder what e'er

Became the two rings
And the whispered things

Were they hocked on the sly
In that great pawnshop in the sky

A clever piece, short in stature yet long in wry humor, nostalgia, and dreams of then. Thank you, Philip.

In your usual inimitable way you cause me to pause and examine the moments when I let those whispered things fly into unromantic oblivion. Last stanza is a nice culmination and awakening. Thanks Phil. I love your work.
