two-step



two-step

She did a two-step on my heart,
my poor heart broke and fell apart.
She kept dancing; it shattered more,
I swept my broken heart up off the floor.
I gathered up the thousand pieces,
my furrowed brow turned into creases.
She kept on dancing: I just sagged.
My splintered heart stuffed in a bag.
I flung the sack across my back.
My empty chest was cold and black.
I wandered near and wandered far,
my loveless heart wished upon a star.
I carried my heart to be repaired,
the tinker shook his head then stared.
"A broken heart is not a pot," he said.
My face turned white, then turned red.
My heart was cold in my little bag.
All my hopes began to flag.
Lo! In the distance, I heard a song.
I listened deep, listened long.
I followed the sound of the lovely tune,
about love gone 'round the moon.
With my sack in hand I ran a course,
up then down, to find song's source.
A maiden fair, sang a song that soothed.
I felt my heart's sharp edges smooth.
I saw the singing, winsome lass,
my heart warmed now, no longer glass.
I felt my heart turn from death to life,
the song had healed my heart from strife.
She smiled and took me by the hand.
My heard felt new, my heart felt grand.
She opened my sack, lifted my heart.
She put it back where it had it's start.
I blushed and had to take a chance.
I sighed, "I hope you don't know how to dance."

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...
