Woman Who Wanted A Shoe

This poem is dedicated to +Adrianna Joleigh 


Woman Who Wanted A Shoe

There was a young woman who wanted a shoe.
She started with one, and then she bought two.
With each one she bought, she had to make room.
She cleaned out some space and swept with her broom.
The footwear collection grew so immense,
she added an annex surrounded by fence.
She stacked her moccasins, mukluks and mules,
"Out of my way, I'm shoe hunting, fools!"
She adored sling-backs, slippers and sneakers.
She loved a good pair that'd stun anyone's peepers.
She loved to climb hills in sling-backs and heels.
She'd rather be found in footwear than riding on wheels.
She drew the line at work boots and waders,
those for labor or searching for 'gators.
The shoe fetish's growth was exponential.
The footwear collection reached full potential.
She proudly displays them for mankind to view.


She’ll let you adore them if you donate a shoe.

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay

Christmas Day is here!

Christmas Day is here! Christmas toys assemble, little armies in strict array Christmas days tremble with memory's magic display Christmas ways resemble lost youth's joyous play Christmas snow remembers forgotten childhood days Christmas tinsel twinkles with the blinking colored lights Christmas memories sparkle in the yellow candlelight  Christmas tears sprinkle on the lonely winter nights Christmas years dwindle as they amble out of sight Christmas morn' sends Santa down the warm chimley, there Christmas morn' brings Jesus in the cold wood manger, dear Christmas morn' rings soundly, filled with festive cheer Christmas morn' sings loudly: Christmas Day is here! © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Merry Christmas Card:  By Souvenir Post Card Company, New York (eBay front back) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Soldier Image:  Brownie in Christmas Land by Marian Jack, 1922 via open clipar...

I miss the most

I miss the most velvet heart, moonlight kiss tender passion, what I miss satin sweetness, warm embrace flowing feelings, just a trace silky shyness, pleasure full porcelain skin, memory's pull feathery touch, fingertip's play magic massages, remember the way furry warmth, cuddle cliche cozy positions, wish we could stay downy hair, smothering waves love to drown, mouth-to-mouth saves buttery kisses, sensual taste no left-overs, none to waste peach fuzz cheeks, sunshine light smoothest legs, night delight butterfly kisses, fluttering close all these things, I miss the most © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long ♥♥♥  Image by Nik Platthy via flickr creativecommons:  https://flic.kr/p/9PMjo7
