A Lost Ring Found Poem by Romeo Della Valle

A Lost Ring Found

Rating: 4.8


'Found-old ring'
Someone out there is lost without a ring...
That to another one meant everything
Didn't it match? didn't it fit?
It is gone-did it ever exist?
The jewels that lay scattered over the floor
The barehanded people cannot endure...

The anguish
Of reducing such sentiment
To the lever of littered pavement
Where eyes casting downward must look to see
The intimation deserted lately
Each symbol makes further testimony
In the trial of what was meant to be...

Who found it?
Let me meet the one who knew its meaning
Because I suspect the recovering
Was not fortune-nor coincidence
Nor the just act of Providence
But that one who possesses it in fact
Was the one who I gave to and took it back...

The hope that it meant anything has left
With the article stolen in the theft
But I can't stop searching again...
Anymore,
Than I can believe it never happened
The emotion rests now with conviction
A life sentence of that consecration...

Very impressive writing. Careful, mature. An allegory, masterfully given. I am glad I read of you, my friend, 'Alma Mater Rhodium Ring', my poetic answer. Thank you for your comments.

[Jay] Perfect Poem! I don't know about other people's comment, but In my opinion I interpret this poem as someone trying to find the perfect love and makes her wear the (wedding?) ring he found. A girl managed to wear the ring, but in the end gave him it back. And believes he will never find the the one. Full of emotions! 10+++
