I want to be IN LOVE again.
I know you love me,
and I love you.
I miss being IN LOVE
that mysterious
wonderful feeling of being IN LOVE.
 
That feeling that one has
when the one they love walks into a room.
The way the background fades
and all you can see
is them.
 
I miss the way my body felt when I was touched.
The way that my breath was hard to catch after kissing.
I miss those soul kisses that touched the very core of me.
 
I miss the way electricity went down my body
when I was dancing with you. 
This was how I felt when I was IN LOVE.
I want to be
IN LOVE again.

The words were hammered blows to my heart.
A stranger would dare not speak such words to me
crushing fists would they find quickly pounding their bodies.
 
The slap of the glove upon their face,
to face certain death on the field of honor.
The answer to your acts are simple enough,
you are an abuser of woman.
 
Your love of God and Jesus but a front
a lie to all.
Deep within your heart lies hate still pouring
on one who has loved you beyond all others.
 
A faithful friend
you no longer are to me.
I have seen your soul.
 
It is dark, black and ridden with the shit of the world
upon your lips.
Oh where, oh where did my love go.
You are without honor, heroism or truth in your declared love.

The mystery of lives lies before the veils of eternity.
Youth fades, beauty dims in the life before us. 
There is one constant in this phyical world;
it is the Love that our Lord has
for each and everyone of us.
 
Move ahead with faith in the Lord.
He was here before eternity existed.
He was planning your new home
even then.

I am singing in the rain with you.
Our feet dancing between the rain drops.
Our cares belong to tomorrow.
Our hands clenched while skipping over puddles.
 
Just singing in the rain together.
This is truly what love is all about.
You and me together
with glistening raindrops
upon our laughing faces.
 
This is our moment of our love together
just singing and dancing
in the rain together.

Chains of sorrow upon my neck
reaching for the ones I knew
unable to touch.
 
A slight breath of air
words spoken
but not heard.
 
My world is full of “If I could’s”
no clock to turn back on my regrets.
I offer only a prayer to my unseen God
to let this end.
 
I say to you
there is no time left
but the time of this moment.
 
Time to forgive
time to say, “I love you.”
Time to give of yourself
for all that you could have done
with this precious thing called Life.
 
In so doing
perhaps you not also be
on this ghostly path
that may never end for me.

"Dreams of Revelations" copyright 2009, John J. Rigo, A lost poem recovered that will be found in upcoming book, "Passion Amidst Apathy"

Dreams of Revelations

Dreams of Revelations

I awoke this morning
with the warmth, taste, and smell of my dreams
still lingering upon my body.
My lips were still moving in formed words
of forgiveness, on my part
with a request for forgiveness of those
whose warmth I felt upon me.
 
I awoke with a joy
and a sadness,
beyond words to describe.
I felt the need to tell of this dream
this past night.
 
It was a dream of forgiveness
forgiveness of the past.
A rejoining of old loves
long gone from today
but not forgotten.
The joy of reuniting was pure
and without hurt.
The embraces were real.
The words of happiness real.
 
There was no bitterness
other than the sweetness of memories from the past.
We had long forgiven each other
for our past hurts.
Hurts rendered
by our own lacking of thought.
 
The joy of the moment
was all that was important.
I fought to hold on to those moments.
I did not want to let them go.
Moments of love, happiness
revisited from days past.
 
Is this what love and happiness is all about
in its reincarnation from the past?
Is this what the past-over in death
to another life, is all about?
 
A new life with forgiveness
behind us, and only joy before us?
If it is so, then I face death with hope and joy.
No longer will I have
the dark fear that use to follow me.
 
Thank you Lord
for giving me insight this day
from the visits of my night.
I face this new day
seeking new signs
of my Lord’s Love for me.

“The Three Most Important Words” copyright 2011 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

The Seventy-First Valentine holiday of my life has passed.
Reaching this place in life gives one much to contemplate.
One becomes greatly aware that death is close to one’s door.
It is a time in my own life to review what has always been important to me.
 
This past Valentines’ day was especially lonely for me.
My closest friends of many years ago
are long death.
There is a loneliness in me that will not go away.
 
I recall fourteen years of my life.
It was a time of a former marriage.
I became overnight the step-father to three children
that no one else really wanted.
 
From age twenty-eight to forty-two
I worked very hard to support those children.
Two boys and a girl at ages six, eight and nine
when I married their mother.
 
Within a year of my marriage
I realized I had made a mistake.
I married the wrong woman.
My only thought was
“Who would care for these children?”
 
The eight and nine-year old were abandoned by their Father
when they were just babies. 
There was never any child support for any of them. 
I could not walk away from caring for them.
 
It was fourteen years later from the date
that I married their mother that I sought a divorce.
The boy and girl I took thru five and four years of college respectfully.
The girl who was the oldest was the “apple of my eye.”
She has been long death now.
Killed by a hit-and-run driver where she was a professor
on a college campus.
 
I have never hear from the two boys again.
As I look back at that time in my life
I do not ever recall having any of those three children
throwing their arms around my neck and simply telling me
“Daddy, I Love You.” 
 
As I now think about my life
there have been many in my life
that I thought
maybe they loved me
but I never remember hearing those words
in quite that way.
 
As a sunset will come upon another Valentine Day
I now feel as I look over my life
of what in life
are the most important words of life
I now believe the three most important words in life are:
“I Love You.”
