I placed my heart
on weathered rails
to let it follow
their ancient path to love.
With hungry eyes I traveled
infatuation’s twists and turns
through spirit and flesh
feasting on desire with each glance.
My heart knew you were
its final destination
when doubt made its exit.
Tunneled in our dreams
the world turned
while we escaped
its wearied revolutions
in each other’s arms.
When life tore away
seclusion’s umbrella
love continued to grow
among trials, disappointment
and the grief of loss.
Today we travel
those weathered rails
with just as much passion
as when hungry eyes
first feasted on budding fascination.
Today at Real Toads Hannah offered the Tunnel of Love in Kleven Ukraine as inspiration for our writing. I chose to write about the love my husband, Charlie, and I have experienced over the past 45 years. Many have asked us the secret to our longevity. There are so many answers but I will simply say we have loved one another unconditionally.

@Margaret, thanks. We look somewhat the same. Just more miles on our faces. :)
How fortunate for both of you, to have met when you were both young.
This makes me think of my grandparents, my parents, my siblings...all of whom made lasting relationships by starting young.
I'm so happy for you.
