Could Be Anywhere...

the Rings

Do you remember the rings?
Rings made of love
the heart over the Cross?
We had them tattooed
onto our fingers
swearing, never to come off.

Do you remember the love?
Symbolized by the circle
topped with hearts.
We promised forever
to each and to God
will you ever forget.

Do you remember the promise?
Branded in colored ink
always in sight.
Can you see the rings
lest we cast aside
reminders, so beautiful.

Do you remember the rings?
Do you see my love
whenever you glimpse?
My promise remains...
true to you, true to you
I have been ever
true to you.

This is a very well written poem, you expressed a bond that should last forever with expertise.

The title caught me!! Had to see what that was about!  I liked the poem very much, but it did have a sad "ring" to it, are they not together anymore? I may be a little slow on these things!!??

wow..i could feel the hurt there at the end--is that what that was?  if not, that was my interpretation..  i think i'll read it again..good portrayal of a wounded heart...

Thank y'all for the input.
yes it was another bittersweet
kinda thing.  Trying to capture
the illusive, hopefull and
eternal flavor of a love thought
to be forever. And perhaps an
awakening too.
thanks again,
