Invulnerable

Invulnerable

Love has tried to pierce my armor,
I’ve resisted every female charmer.
Love has tried to strike my shield,
I’ve refused to drop arms I wield.
Love has failed to pierce my skin,
I’ve refused to let woman’s love in.

I’ve repulsed Cupid’s arrow’s aim,
Love has yet to stake a claim.
I’ve rebuked all words l’amour,
Love has not filled me more.
I’ve repelled romantic notions,
Love has not served me love potions.

Love has tried to open wide,
Thick and callused heart I hide.
Love has tried to find my heart,
Hidden deep inside my deepest part.
Love has yet to burst the bubble;
I’ve encased myself from love’s trouble.

I’ve escaped the painful fate,
Love’s not reached my inner state.
I’ve achieved the foolish feat,
Love has left me incomplete.
I’ve forgotten love’s majestic feel,
Love has made my heart like steel.

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

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
