The crimes

The crimes

The crimes you commit,
follow you to the day you die.

Crimes of love.
Crimes of the heart.
Hearts you have broken.
Hearts you have neglected,
rejected, infected, deflected, dissected.
Torn, ragged, jagged, depleted,
shattered, scattered, scarred hearts.
Hearts bleeding, receding.


Lies told.
Promises unkept.
Vows forgotten. Tears unwept.
Vowels and consonants gather. 
Words like honey, now turn acrid,
Bitter and sour, as they pass the lips.
Hearts seared by verbs and nouns.
Splintered by shards of verbal sounds.

Love turned away,
spurned, burned, returned.
A barren heart naked and bared.
Love unleft and uncared.
Love lost, lonely, lonesome, alone.
Love unwanted, unsought, unshown.
Love shrunken, unknown.
Heart frozen, iced and silenced.

The crimes you commit,
follow you from the day you love.

Winter's Way

Winter's Way Snow swirls and settles softly, down. Frozen ponds and pine trees are painted white. Winter wind whirls, swirls and twirls in circles, up and down, in and out. Drifting snow piles high here and there. Snow birds flitter, flutter and forage,  then, hurry to their roosts to nestle. Bright moon shines and the ice reflects it's beams between snowflakes and flurries. December's icy blanket covers field and hills. Blustery nights turn into biting cold days. Frosted roads crunch beneath sleighs led by huffing, puffing mares.  Mufflers, mittens or gloves cover frigid hands. Earmuffs, overcoats, and scarves stave off shivers. Snowbound sledders find space  to steer down slippery slopes. Firewood crackles in the fireplace. Snuggled beneath fleece throws, we counter polar storms and ice-kissed frigid gales. Jack Frost's season overwhelms  and overblows with solstice ice-flowers. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Lon...

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
