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

Posted by Glenn Currier on 03/21/18 at 05:23 PM 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. |
