Riding The Years of Love

Poem by Joni Caggiano 12/07/20 – Photograph by Andre Ulyssesdesalis in Pexels



feeling you as the stars are heating our passionate nest with fiery embers
reflecting on our youthful skin, and secret crimson frolics with intensity
chambers in my heart, beating fast, lay unrestricted by your touch
glutinous boundaries of cerulean I sail windlessly through as I clutch
my chest, like your love, at times, is so consuming, it is too much

years turn to decades as the path became imprinted in both of our spirits
thoughts, the sisters of attitude were at times bending us toward black
dividing joint and marrow in our youthful days, she was often there
rigidity, riding like a horse leaving hoof marks on my skin so fair
then God’s love touching you, for now equally yoked in prayer

like tree swallows fading into one heart as earth is with soul and spirit
gray hair uniting with the expanding moss dangling in a giant cypress
jointly now into the silken outline of the ocean’s dazzling auburn sky
our light stirs passing stars leading Into fused solace as they fly
a child plays as her mother opens a locket then births a sigh

    1. Thank you so much Brad. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your gracious support. We are going to be home and grateful to be together. We don’t have any big plans. My daughter’s family went to Veil, Colorado against my better judgement but I just hope they are careful. I understand people getting tired of being at home. The virus sounds frightening. I hope you get to see some family. We will watch a service and be grateful. Take care my friend. Sending you love, hugs and appreciation. 🤗💕❤️💝🦋Jonikins

      2. Well please be safe my friend. North Carolina is a hot spot right now and we have friends who have lost loved ones and family members from the virus. We will be staying home and most likely watching movies. It is finally cold here but before a few days ago it was still like a warm spring. Crazy weather in the south. We moved from Seattle (after a record) when we had 90 straight days of rain. We get rain here but then the sun comes out. I hope that you have a blessed day. If I had family around I would spend it with them and just wear masks. Sending many hugs my friend. Love ya Joni 💕❤️
