Subtle Carousel Of Joy
The anticipation of flowers and cherry trees, those lazy days
Where we agree, that in the very nature of love's resistance there is bliss
To be nurtured and tended to, that the energies ever seductive ways
Are penetrating the subtle body language of impending kisses
And crazy Love, the kind that won't just sit there, hoping we'll resist
It's climbing upward into our consciousness, ever mindful of the playground
Where loneliness rides the carousel, a wooden stallion, going round and round
On a ride of passing pleasures, that steal away in subtle silences
And strange contrivances that lead us into the light of God's intent
Where we stand proudly, basking in forever like children
On that carousel where winter's comforts align with springtime
Bringing holidays like happy rhymes into our forever awestruck minds
So now, when I am with you in my dreams, or in the golden light
You are my path, my faithful wonder, the seeds from which my life
Has grown a brimming luster,
That glow of Love,
That subtle carousel,
Found spinning,
In the joy,
Of life...

Images, apt turns of phrase and some rather subtle rhymes tumble over each other in this effective and delightful piece of prose poetry.
It seems, on the surface, as a work of pure free association on the topic...but that impression belies a more deliberate structure which underpins the whole.
And I love the entirely apposite title...Subtle Carousel Of Joy is a perfect description of the whole poem.
Wonderful!!

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Together, they now ride on life's Carousel
Their first time, they both grabbed a brass ring
Each of which instantly connected
Bonding their souls forever in ecstasy
Spinning, loving, enrapt!
They float to the ends of the Universe
Peace, Love and Rockets,
