She stood

She stood there immobile, frozen, still.
No feelings dwelt there; lifeless chill.
Her ice-clad heart, stuck in her breast.
Her swollen center, hollow ice-chest.

A pirouette, her arms poised, fourth position,
caught in pose, dancing in full transition.
Her feet, left in front of right, toes pointed out,
snug-fit slippers, her frosted lips caught, in mid-shout.

He saw her standing, still-life, statuesque beauty;
to thaw her heart became his heart's duty.
Her beat-less heart, her bosom un-throbbed;
he touched her cheek, felt her woeful sob.

The dancer's emotions, her body portrays,
thawing feelings, her hurt displays.
He grasped her hands, felt ice melts,
frosted cheeks, now rosy welts.

His gentle smile, manly grasp on her hip,
warm man-hands, with tender grip.
Her bosom now, moving, heaving slight,
her smile now thawing, face now bright.

Muscles moving, graceful flexion,
they smoothly move in one direction.
Her heart now beats, with his in rhythm,
she yields to warmth she gains from him.

They move in tandem, princess unfrozen,
as one they spin in grace-filled motion.
Her heart un-iced, now, he has chosen,
dancing now, effortless devotion.

Joy-filled visions, his love has healed,
spinning, bowing, bodies wheeled.
Her ice-less heart now flows with heat
as one their hearts, throb and beat.

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

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...
