Love Poem: Stirrups

Written by: Karen Jones

Stirrups

A little thing descends
Something bigger grew in
little do true blue know
we are always choosing hope and

Life inside of thick thin thighs
Life inside of kiss men or baby's cries
Life a green growth that strives
Or black cancer that I must fight

Life inside silver stirrups
Never the fault of chocolate cherubs
We choose to believe 
We share eternity
In a loving embrace
From the purest place
From sin or disgrace
From the men of rape

Life inside stirrups
Light shines my thoughts hurry up
Trying to make me detach
From the current task

Prefer the rider stirrups to these
Of probing and beholding my inner peace.
