Pink am I, fresh and innocent with you
Opening like a virgin bud, giving birth to beauty
You are the intoxicating fragrance that pours over me every time you breathe
Gardenias and jasmine jumping in midair like babes on trampolines where nothing can stop us from flying

    1. Hi John, thank you so much. I bet you are glad you don’t have to leave your house to use the internet somewhere else. It is strange what can happen when your internet goes out. We just had about a three minute timeframe when for some reason we lost our signal. When that happened I lost several comments, they just disappeared. Strange things. I hope it is not getting too hot for you. Stay safe and cool. Love Joni xoxoxo

      1. I am so glad you got that fixed. I think a lot of people have found out how convenient working at home is especially if you have a long commute. Love ❤️ Joni

  3. Lovely. I find myself running out of adjectives, Joni. Not b/c your work is in any way lacking. Just the opposite. Each piece is beautiful in its own way. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration w/ the rest of us. Sending you much love, dear friend. God bless. <3 <3 <3

    1. Thank you dearest Anna. Your words have really touched my heart. I appreciate your reading my work so much. I am sending love and prayers your way. ❤️🤗😘💕 Anna I still haven’t heard any news. ❤️❤️Joni

  4. These are breathtaking words my dear friend from closer than far that always weaves such admiration and joy.. 💖💖💖💖💖 love you Joni❣️❣️❣️

    1. Oh thank you Cindy. You are so kind to read my work as busy as you have been. You say such lovely words about my work touching my heart.

      You are a light that shines so bright. Thank you. Love ❤️ Joni

    1. Oh thank you so much Stuart. What a kind comment too.

      “Startling piece” this made me smile Stuart. I am a very passionate woman and that can be a good thing and a bad thing. I have a temper too. I can be like a little ball of fire ☄️ not something I am proud of and I am constantly working on that. I think a lot of artist are passionate. The “Methuselah Strain,” your book, was full of wonderful passionate reading.
      Sending hugs 🤗 to you both. ❤️Joni

      1. That passion infuses your poetry, Joni. Passion in an artist is always to be admired. Temper? I know there are reasons for that in your past.
        Thank you for the kind comment on my novella.

      2. You are right of course. Your novella was an amazing piece of entertainment, fascinating look into our “could be” future and an amazing surprise ending. An altogether excellent read.
        You two stay out of trouble. ❤️Joni

  5. This is so gorgeous my dearest friend. So beautiful and pure. Loved how fluidly it moves❣
    “You are the intoxicating fragrance that pours over me every time you breathe” So moving and descriptive💕
    Love this poem a lot!

    1. Thank you Ishita so much. You are so kind to read me. It is a true blessing as I know your studies are demanding. I haven’t seen any new post on your site is that because of your busy schedule? I assume that is why. Your writing is way too good not to continue but I understand the demands of school and study. Thank you again for reading. Sending you and all your family my love. ❤️🤗🤗❤️Joni

  6. Another amazing and beautiful poem, Joni! I’m so happy that you are getting your work out there so more people can discover how wonderfully talented you are! 💕🌻🥰

    1. That is such a wonderfully thoughtful and kind thing to say. Thank you Tiffany. Got home about an hour ago looking forward to seeing your post of the show. Sending love ❤️ 🤗❤️😘Joni

    1. I don’t know how this comment ended up in pending but I am glad I found it, what a very kind comment. Thank you again Jeff for your support. I am so glad I found it. Again, I am so appreciative of your support and comments. Have an amazing evening in the sunset. Hugs, Joni

      1. Ah, I’m so glad you found it. How lovely. You’re most welcome, dear Joni. Is my complete pleasure to read your lovely work. Thank you. Love to you. ❤️

  7. So sensually dreamy yet with a sensibility that’s indicative of the profound awareness of love. This is gorgeous. Also, that image is beautiful!

    1. Oh thank you so much. I truly appreciate your kindness and your lovely comment. Thank you. I loved that photograph also. I did not realize I was looking at topographic pictures at first. Amazing how colorful our earth is and I just hope we can keep it beautiful. Love and hugs 🤗 Joni

      1. Wow, I didn’t realize it was a Topo map until you mentioned it. It does look like relief features. Our planet is truly beautiful.
        Love and hugs to you too! ❤️

      2. I know neither did I. You are right our world is still beautiful we just all have to work hard to keep it this way. Have an amazing evening. Love and hugs to you, Joni

    1. Thank you my dearest friend. I hope that the smoke has died down from all the fires and that you and Mark can enjoy the outside and the time you have left at the cabin. I still can not believe how hot it is there. I bet you have a great tan. Looking forward to seeing all your great photographs when you return. Sending you so much love Janette. Thank you always for all your kind words and encouragement. A special thanks for the early morning call for your encouragement to go forward with the first procedure, you were right of course it was very painful but now two more to go.
