Bicycles: Love Poems by Nikki Giovanni

Posted Feb 14 2011 9:36am

On this Valentines Day, remember the simple, sensual pleasure of riding a bicycle with the one you love.

“Bicycles” by Nikki Giovanni from her book Bicycles: Love Poems

Midnight poems are bicycles
Taking us on safer journeys
Than jets
Quicker journeys
Than walking
But never as beautiful
A journey
As my back
Touching you under the quilt

Midnight poems
Sing a sweet song
Saying everything
Is all right

Everything
Is
Here for us
I reach out
To catch the laughter

The dog thinks
I need a kiss

Bicycles move
With the flow
Of the earth
Like a cloud
So quiet
In the October sky
Like licking ice cream
All day long I wait
For the sunset
From a cone
Like knowing you
Will always
Be there

The first star
The moon rise

I move
To a midnight
Poem
Called
You
Propping
Against
The dangers
