again

















again


if i could walk those golden streets
again
and sing those glad olden songs so sweet
again


if i could feel those pounding jungle beats
again
and touch those rumbling thronging beasts
again


if i could dance those daring double steps
again
and twirl the girls 'round their swinging hips
again


if I could swim those clear summer lakes
again
and float lazily where the cool current takes
again


if i could sit in playful grade-school seats
again
and draw where pencil and yellow paper meets
again


if i could run the asphalt baseball fields
again
and slap the rubber balls off car windshields
again


if i could fold daily newspaper sheets
again
in pre-dawn drowsiness on city streets
again


if i could gaily play in hot summer rains
again
and watch the water run into sewer-drains
again


if i could tackle tough and rumble players
again
and run through football teams like a laser
again


if i could frolic in frigid cold and icy snow
again
and not fear near frostbite's reddish glow
again


if I could touch a petal's single rose 
again
and rub it on my little pink nose
again


if all these things i could clearly see and truly be
again
and run with wild abandon and glorious glee
again

can't wait

old friends

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com

spectral kiss

spectral kiss the silent echo of a forgotten kiss fills my heart with trembling bliss the surge of love felt from your lips reflects old feelings of love's eclipse passion's image of days long gone my broken heart has not moved on  velvet kiss's remembered touch from memory's lips, mean so much subtle pressure from your sweet lips of which i drank long, deep sips heartbeats count them, one by one from rising moon to setting sun the soothing pleasure of phantom kiss the velvety glory that my lips miss the tender texture of emotion's heights haunt me now in darkest nights pulsing pleasures from tender lips ancient memories through time, slips each kiss that my memory holds are lost to me now as time unfolds where we were to where are we now shields us from time's fleeting prow the vessel that bore us with each kiss has shipwrecked our love's eternal bliss © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ ...
