in her world now












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 all the things she loved now staid

her paintings one day were all found
people passed her worlds all around
they shook their heads in sad dismay
and put them all upon display

she sings and paints in her world now
was more than happy to disavow
what she had lost and left behind
to all the people who were blind

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

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 ❤ ❤ ❤ ...
