Best Rings Poems

Sometimes thirty years
feels like a long time
When you’re an old soul
and the hours and minutes
have taken their toll

But there are songs to write
and words to weigh
messages to impart
and things to say

So another song percolates
Flows out onto the table
You sigh deeply 
and for a moment feel...

         skating upon saturn’s rings 

             endless ice cold arcs
     innards of past moons shattered

Smoke Rings
If she wanted to stay he would make her a place,
for he loves ev'rything that she is,
and he'd willingly give all the world and the stars
for her love--if they only were his.

But he likes it alone, and in silence he knows,
if he wants, he...

When silence sings
A memory rings
A heart springs
And words wear wings

*****

I compose my rhapsody 
Passionate and full of melody 
With shades of artistic unity
Satiated with peaceful beauty

There’s a poem in your eyes
Raw feelings of Nature ties
And all the wonder it implies 
Your verses in my...

She ventured far beyond Earth's realm
past cordoned confines of heart and soul
Tumbled,  as did Alice, down the rabbit hole
Drifted, like an Autumn leaf blown from an elm

She soared past distant planets, 
on paths lighted by effulgent moons
Weaved her tears among Saturn's rings
and all the...

We sit alone in the shadows outside,
Blowing smoke rings in the dark;
Watching them rise and then divide,
The cherry just a glowing spark;

This is what living is all about,
I’m more happy now than I care to admit;
Talking, laughing, and hanging out,
Just sitting here with our cigarettes...

She wore pineapple rings for glasses
and walked like jelly dances
I didn't rate her chances
She used to wee standing up
she cooked lemon a'la duck
won the lottery, grumbled what bad luck
like a surgical nip, without the tuck.
She'd blow cream cheese when she sneezed
and eat ram dressed as...

mutual care that started out of nothing
  now it means everything
our love and devotion

a blessed union now sealed with two rings
   our nurtured care developed 
we are forever one...

Two different lives, from different worlds, were meant to be as one
He became her guiding star, and she became his shining sun

Once they had been strangers, but love brought them together
He had never fathered children, but quadruplets called her Mother

He brought along a gentle love,...

Thy love rings like bluebells caught in spring’s breeze
Singing out to my heart heaven’s chorus
Such beauteous song brings larks to their knees
Humming birds charm-ed stilly and voiceless
Thy radiant smile beclouds the sun’s rays
Jaundice daffodils wilt in thy presence
Thou favour emits an opium haze
Lovers’ Lorelei reborn...

The bell rings and I hope she walks by...
That pretty little Mandy who makes my heart fly...
Her beautiful smile and eyes that make me sing...
I hope she notices me before the last bell rings...
I will grab the chalk and write on the board...
"Michael luvs Mandy"!!!...

[In Loving Memory of Pam and Roger Schulte]

Love can be found in the heavens up high, 
Look up to visit them, and be their guest-
As these two rings reunite in the sky.

Even if not seen by the human eye, 
These two lovers meet in an...

Time has swept her ageless hand 
Over the drudgery of life
Dawns have risen and suns have set
The hourglass is still losing sand
Draining, waning the hours
Another second has just slipped by
What makes this game grand
Destiny a fickle thing
Tripping toes and trembling hearts
I will not believe it's...

Lift your face to the sun;
Heart bells of elation,
Ring and renew the spirit.

Souls music needs no technology to play;
Angels tutor the soul,
In the compositions of ecstasy;
Such orchestras are eternal.

Mortal ears never hear what the soul’s do.
The ability exists, in the ears of belief.

The baffle of...
