This Ring

 

Dressed to Kill as you enter the room

Your Raven Hair, ruby lips, eyes of blue

short skirts and high heels once brought him to his knees

Before you walked out his door becoming a memory

A regretful moment you think to change

Thinking you can have him with a promise to take his name

But he gave to me in the spring

The day he gave me this ring

 

This Ring

Just a simple band of gold

But It means the world to me

Along his promise to love me as we grow old

This ring has a matching band

My promise to love him for all eternity

Remains at home on his left hand

 

Slowly weaving a path through the crowd

Your eyes speaking your thoughts out loud

He does not notice your approach as his eyes remain on mine

And Only turns at the hello whispered in a sigh

As your arms pull him near

He turns down the invitation whispered in his ear

As he pulls away you finally see

For you his is now only a dream

You frown as the light hits the diamonds

In front of my simple golden band

This ring claiming him as my man

But Hope remains in your eyes

Until he introduces you to his wife

 

With a shake of your head, a giggle, a sigh

His declaration to me you push aside

Viewing me as merely an ant hill in your way

And with a little effort he will be yours again in days

As if I’m invisible you move closer to his lips

Hoping he will notice the tantalizing sway of your hips

Stay on this path and trouble it will bring

As I give you a much, much closer look at this Ring

I am completely awestruck. This poem...held so much attraction and promise. The ring symbolizes so much and I love how you make the scene. I can picture it now. Wonderful.

Another fantastic poem. I got a kick out of the ending too. It's difficult to write good poetic humor!! Well done my friend.

This is an amazing poem and honestly had me laughing by the end. I also like the idea of writing for stories. Alot of my poems are inspired by my books and it is nice to read something by someone else who does so as well.

I love this especially the end (Im assuming she throws a punch here?) and I like the idea of writing a poem inspired by your book and characters
