I don’t complain as I walk these streets of pain, <br />I love everything I see, the stay dogs <br />And the winos pissing in the rain. <br /> <br />Enchanting love is a dream that eludes me, <br />A woman’s beauty is just something that confuses me, <br />Weddings rings are decorations packed away <br />More quickly than tinsel on a Christmas tree. <br /> <br />In my lonely way, I’m happy, <br />I’ve accepted my coffin-sealed dreams <br />For the disposable coffee-ground quality <br />They represent to me. <br /> <br />I find poetry and God in the eternal sadness: <br />To most people, I’m a jokester, <br />But to myself, I’m a wondrous mystic.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wedding-rings-2/
