your kiss is so your kiss is so sweet, just like bee's honey you kiss is so bright, you make grey skies sunny your kiss is so soft, like satin or silk your kiss is so soothing, like warm mother's milk your kiss is so tender, from a heart full of care your kiss is so light, I'm floating on air your kiss is so stirring, I can hardly sit still your kiss is so female, all laces and frill your kiss is so soulful, from deep down inside, your kiss is open, nothing to hide your kiss is so luscious, like a strawberry sundae your kiss is so great, you make every day Fun Day your kiss is so fiery, my heart's all aflame your kiss is so different, never the same © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image by:  Kyrre Gjerstad via Flickr creativecommons

Christmas Ready Santa's elves are hardly nappin'. Their tools and toes are wildly tappin'. Somethin' great is gonna happen! Santa's checkin' both his lists. His heart is torn by naughty twists. Someone's gonna get some gifts. Santa's elves are ultra busy. Their workshop's in such a tizzy. Somethin' makes them all quite dizzy! Santa's counted all the toys. His presents set for good girls and boys. Someone's gonna be full of Christmas joys. Santa's elves keep such fast pace. Their arms and legs run like in a race. Somethin's goin' on in this place! Santa's packed his magic sleigh. His reindeer wait for the word "Away'! Someone's ready for Christmas Day! Santa's elves are fully flyin'. Their hearts and minds are truly tryin'. Somethin's comin' on the horizon! Santa's off to do his duty. His s...

Christmas voices Christmas spirits linger, here Quieted voices whisper, clear Forgotten memories rise, like ghosts Holiday gatherings without hosts Sleigh bells tinkle, lonely sound December's wind blows all around Jack Frost sends cold hot ice Frozen tears, sting one, twice Pine trees bare, except for garland Solitary snowfall in winter's garden 'O Tannenbaum' sung by the choir Echoes round, the lonely hour Haunting silence fills my ears Christmas past collects the tears © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long

Wow! Wow! I found my heart again today. (I’d lost it somewhere along the way.) I'd felt no emotions in its place. (No emotions felt, no, not a trace.) I found my heart again today. (Now I sing a song, hooray!) I feel some things I felt before. (I hope some things I feel no more.) I found my heart again today. (I hope its here now to stay.) I found a girl I loved today. (I saw my heart float away.) I felt my heart skip a beat. (I danced a dance with both my feet.) I freed my heart, bound before. (I chained and linked it to pain galore.) I found my heart again today. (I hope my heart is here to stay.) I drifted up right into space. (I feel I’m in a State of Grace.) Wow! I found my heart again today. (I’d lost it somewhere along the way.) © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤

wet land the plinking, pinging of rain at night redounds the silence of memory's sight the liquid essence of cloud's release mirrors man's tears with no surcease the dripping, plopping in pools of rain gather together like puddles of pain moisture gathers in morning mist the fog of sadness's forlorn kiss dew rests softly in the morning sun brings no relief from midnight's run as water flows toward the sea a river of tears flow from me © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long

Rudolph Rudolph enjoys the Winter Sun, Frolics in downy snow for fun. Tries to hide his funny, red nose, Some have even said: "It glows!" Little reindeer romps and plays, chasing snowflakes all the days. Left out of  the Reindeer Games, bullies call dear Rudolph names. Finds his solace in sweet Clarice. They love the snow and winter's peace. Igloos made from snow banks, hidden. They rub their noses. Oh! Fun, forbidden! A glowing nose is hard to hide. Rudolph covers in shameful pride. Nose shines strong in darkest night. the ruddy glow of reindeer's light. Christmas comes; so does a storm. Rudolph's home, safe and warm. Santa remembers reindeer's light, knows it may guide safely tonight. Santa calls for little reindeer's help to lead his team; deliver Christmas wealth. Nine reindeer in front of Santa's sleigh, Rudolph's reined first, to lead the way. Merry Christmas...

your little life  words you've written on the page explain the deeds you did today descriptions of the life you lead how you love, how you bleed verbs and nouns now crowd the lines pointing to the life's warning signs of where to go and what to do you do the things that make you you phrases phrased reflect your mind show the inner heart defined emotions spilled in little pools joy and tears for friends and fools adjectives that make their mark in the light and in the dark mirror what you wish you had taking all the good with bad  ten thousand words may fill your book with poetic license that you took to make your little life look big will any other give a fig? © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ If you like this poem, try this one:  inhale deep !

Inhale Deep Wretched waste of days and years, release the phantoms of your fears. Embrace the moment of your birth, live each second's fullest girth. Odious loss of countless hours, reject the pull of worry's powers. Endeavor to each minute strain, squeeze the essence from each grain. Putrid stench of anger's flail, release the tension of it's fail. Embody youthful joy in living, celebrate each gift life's giving. Guard against the loss of hope, pray for all the strength to cope. Stand firm in the face of death, inhale deep each eternal breath. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ♡ ♡ ♡

Glass Heart Heat of love, like burning fire, sand and grit, searing ire. Constant collision of emotions, strong, emits smoke and ash, right and wrong. Feelings unfiltered, smooth the surface, life and love's clash at cross-purpose. Love and hate, anger and joy co-exist as frictions deploy. Molten love like silica molded, yields glass, liquid enfolded. Hearts heat and cool, turn to glass. Shimmering surface, shining mass. Glass heart can suddenly shatter, glistening shards sliver and scatter. As love cools, heart's shell hardens, smoldering ardor fills love's gardens. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤  ❤  ❤

another day And yet, another day, falls. As a leaf drops from a branch of a tree, the day falls from the tree, called, life. The day  is no longer green, but brown. All life, taken. The day is spent, no longer free, to enjoy, shining sunlight, beautiful birds, whistling wind, renewing rain. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤

cobbled together she lived her life her own way, she cobbled everything together,  the best she could, with tape and wire and cement she hammered and fixed it up smoothing out every dent, only thing she couldn't  was her heart she had that  broken, once,  unmended all those years, unended all those tears, untended all those fears, she poured her love into children  and dogs and the elderly  she served in her job,  she deserved a better end, but, who can defend against a well-lived life  cobbled together? © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤

crestfallen upheaval And the doleful lament slowly fills silence, breaking it into small portions of grief. And the sorrowful souls that gather in gloom repine over their unworthy souls. And their wretched, woebegone lives stretch tautly in night. And the mournful melancholies pray a despondent dirge. And the dolorous, sentient beings yearn in woeful innocence for the distant dawn. And a clarion trumpet blast deafens their darkness, and brilliant, solar spectra blind their morose existence, and the potent sunlight shatters their chasm of doom, and ultra-violet hues claim the inherited humans, in glorious light. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long

breath jagged breathing, halting breath count the moments until death no more tubes to feed the life living ends, no more strife heaving, wheezing, in the chest, no more days, death's behest lungs give way, no longer function priest performs extreme unction clock ticks out the minute's time reach toward next world, sublime now, released, see spirit soar soul is gone, to live no more the living stay, to count each day until our bodies all give way © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long Image by:  by Sebastiano Ricci - The Yorck Project: 10.000 Meisterwerke der Malerei.

chaotic word And every chaotic word that splits the soul, opens a chasm with abyssal depth. And the word rebounds with abysmal ferocity. And the silence broken by the word, echoes round like a thundering, bison herd. And the echo's felt with colossal ire that rages long, like a funeral pyre. And the fire that's set by the word, blazes and subsumes  a forest of souls. And every soul aflame, through pain, causes rifts which split the celestial plane. And every rift is gaping wide, and reflects the chasm that is ruptured deep. And every word that reverberates down, has created a soul that is doomed to weep. And every tear these souls exude, fills the eternal abyss and drowns every chaotic word. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long Image by:  "Ancient eter" by Oliver C.Mallorca Creative Commons via Wikimedia Commons

I am free I am free I dance the dance of freedom, I perform a ballet of liberation, I shed the shackles of confinement, I move in liberty to the music of exhilaration, I exalt in the melody of life, I glide in the tones of majestic mountains, I leap to the sounds of glorious beauty, I swirl in the elegance of earth's tune, I exult in the power of immortal undersongs, I embrace the rhapsody of eternal release, I reverberate the tintinnabulation of celestial silence, I embody the cadence of genesis, I am free © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By Robert S.

heart Power The beauteous innocence of a life unspoiled; a loving family shelter with peace unroiled. Smiling laughter fills each luminous face. Protected splendor yields personal grace. The shattered wound of childhood lost. Broken homes carry enormous cost. The streaming sadness of flowing tears, leaves scattered lives, forgotten years. A heart that nurtures a growing seed, can save a life that's become a weed. Caring words build a beautiful life, hurtful ones lead to generations of strife Use your power to shield and heal. Construct a haven in the commonweal. Break the endless chain of fear. Salve the wounds; dry the tears. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image by:  pogurì via Flickr Creative Commons

pains pain intrudes like unwanted guest keeps you from your very best pain explodes like liquid fire, searing heat with bubbling ire pain protrudes like metallic splinters, throbbing hands, swollen fingers pain erupts like lava's flames, burning through bulging brain pain pulses like a phantom limb numbing as the lights go dim pain lingers like a spectral ghost draining power from the host pain aches like a clock that ticks dulling, constant, chronic clicks pain remains like a shadow dark, clinging, gnawing at its mark © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long Image:  iProzac via Flickr Creative Commons

and I shall and i shall watch as the funeral procession moves slowly and surely to the final resting place of one who has shed his mortal frame and i shall see the faces of mourners who lament the death of one who has passed from this time and i shall count the tears of those who weep for the life now gone from this celestial orb and i shall gaze as men take turns placing earth on the hollow remains of one who has vacated his place among men and i shall ponder the mortality of my existence and i shall yearn for a return to my mother's womb so that i shall live again © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ image:  LMAP via Flickr Creative Commons

A Heart A heart. A heart can be red,  be black,  be gray, be blue; heart of my heart You can bend it,  break it,  cut it,  empty it; a heart. You can hurt it,  melt it,  mend it,  touch it, fill it; a heart. You can share it,  sin against it, raise it,  lift it,  hold it;  a heart. A heart can sing,  can dance,  can love,  can sing; a heart. A heart can soar,  can fly,  can float, can feel; a heart. A heart can beat,  can pulse,  can surge,  can explode; a heart. A heart can hope, can care,  can smile, can laugh;  a heart. A heart  can cry,  can shrink, can lament, can worry, a heart. A heart can be strong,  can be weak,  can be weary,  can be foolish; a heart. A heart can be deceitful,  can be alone,...

For you For you, my heart sputters,  churns and  burns, my heart waits,  yearns and  turns. For you, my heart's  on fire,  sparks and  flames, my heart  sizzles, scorches and sears. For you, my heart  bleeds,  boils and  beats, my heart  pulses, loves and longs. For you my heart  feels, flutters and  floats, my heart soars and smiles. For you, my heart  aches, shakes and stirs, my heart, rumbles and tumbles. For you,  my heart is bared, cares and shares, my heart lives and gives. For you. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ image:  By Julia Warshal via Flickr Creative Commons

she sailed through her dreams she sailed through her dreams as if life was what she lived during beatific sleep she dreamed her life was full of sunshine and fields of flowing, glowing beauty she sailed through her dreams the days were long and filled with smiles and songs of joyful, dervish dancing she sailed through her dreams the nights were filled with shining moonlight and sparkling, spinning stars she sailed through her dreams the paths she walked were filled with friends and peaceful, pensive pleasures she sailed through her dreams the ways she followed were filled with love and romantic, impassioned kisses she sailed through her dreams the plans she made were filled with hope and a grateful, thankful future she sailed through her dreams as if life was what she lived during beatific sleep she lived her life as if her dreams were real © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By Albert Ritzber...

Point State Park, Pittsburgh, PA Autumn demands Summer's heat  turns to  Autumn's chill. Summer's fun  turns to  Autumn's thrill. Autumn's  color panoply  on every hill. Autumn demands  hue changes. Summer's colors, Autumn rearranges. Green to yellow,  orange,  gold or red, Rainbow's colors  deftly spread. Autumn's breeze  chills the Night. Summer's warmth's  taken flight. Swirling leaves,  twirling,  fall. Brown,  then gather,  then,  a stormy squall. Autumn demands. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image :  "Point State Park in Fall" by John ~ Creative Commons via Wikimedia Commons

Love Fantastical She said I made her laugh,  at times she got so hysterical. I loved to hear her laugh,  at times the sound was so lyrical. She always asked me why,  at times she was so quizzical. I loved to make her think, at times she was so metaphysical. She said we were meant to be,  at times it was so mystical I loved to spend my time with her,  at times she was so divinical. She stroked my red-flecked beard, at times it was so rhythmical. I loved to hold her close,  at times we got so physical. She said my humor stung sometimes,  at times I was so satirical. I loved to make up with her, at times we got so spherical. She said I made her feel special, at times she was so angelical. I loved many things about her,  at times they were so numerical © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted from:  qthomasbower via Flickr Creative Commons

in her world now she tried to hide her awkwardness and all the other's gawkwardness she tried to glide but only fell she died inside her silent hell her face and hands weren't beautiful like all the other girls at school she never really quite fit in she died inside her silent sin she liked to draw and liked to paint afraid to show others who might taint the worlds she saw upon white and visited them all by night her fingers stained with oils bright colors were her sole delight she made a place inside a wall she hid her worlds away from all she made her music in her heart no one else could be a part she sang inside a blue-made tune in front of the dark's yellow moon her inner would was all she had soon others saw that she was mad but she alone knew the self-made life was the only place she'd be free from strife she disappeared one autumn day when all were on a holiday she went to someplace she had made where a...

Ballad of Me  With pen  in hand  (I dislike to type.)  sitting, dazed,  I take a swipe. Ink flows  onto  white-lined pad,  methinks aloud,  "'Tis not too bad!"  Rhyming  like  a super bard,  at times,  a poem  can come  hard. Chained,  to a chair,  I sit  and write,  on and on,  through  day  and  night. Coffee  flows,  like the ink, it helps me  focus, thoughts  to think.  Moonlight shines upon the page, nighttime writing  is the rage. Face  is growing  wan  and pallid from lack of sun, so now it's time I end this ballad.  © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image by:  Cali4beach via Flickr

Summer Falls Summer sheds his thermal coat Sun retreats from beaming heat Day gets shorter by cool minutes Skin fades from summer tan Mind recalls summer's fun Heart beats to summer past Evening sends his cooler breeze Moon lingers longer than before Stars appear in different places Body bids for more clothes Nose sneezes at ragweed Feet feel the need for socks Tree shakes off browning leaves Harvest slows his ripened gifts School bids the children come Fun changes ways to enjoy Summer season sadly departs Autumn paints fall colors anew © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  Michael Gil via Flickr CC
