A Simple Band of Metal (Free verse) by TLRufener A simple band of metal,
With a less than precious stone,
Rests along side my heart;
The place you now call home;
It signifies a promise made
Under the sound of falling rain,
A vow made without words
Letting us know our lives had changed.
Two strangers who met in a crowded restaurant
Have grown to silent dreams in the stars.
Yours has become mine, mine has become yours,
And yours and mine have become ours.
A simple band of metal
Changed the whole tone of you and me;
An unsaid vow of love
Glittering for everyone to see.
Speaking a silent message
That rings clear and ever true;
Whispered silver and sparkling:
I will always love you.
Up the ladder:
Bury my memory
Down the ladder:
for one day only

"A vow without words" seems a more sentimental title. I'd like to see the "ever" taken out of "clear and ever true" and "laways" from "I will always love you" because the present night is good - why complicated it. And please make "your" yours in "And your and mine have become ours." The ambiguity of "less than precious stone" makes it all the more appealing.
