time tictocking

time tictocking wilted flowers, grey-sky showers, waste away the brooding hours opaque dreams, silent screams, sleepless nights split time's seams friendless days, forgotten ways, lonesome memories all that stays immobile motions, somnolent notions, set adrift on life's oceans heart frozen, love unchosen, emotions build, no explosion inert reasons, mental lesions, lost inside year-long seasons epic enigma, life's insignia, live alone marks with stigma fate's knocking, destiny's rocking, eternity waits, time tictocking © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long

winter of our love

winter of our love and in the winter of our love stroke these weathered hands feel the folds of life in my heart kiss the worry lines on my forehead caress the ancient joints that held our joys and our pains through the journey of our lives and in the winter of our love count the unhurried days of love that marked the moments of our union ease each labored breath through these aged lungs touch the withered memories that remain in my mind grasp the last few days of our love with your wise heart and in the winter of our love sing the songs of our youth the ones that meld with the days of our love enumerate the ways that I have loved you consider the passion we spent with each heartbeat as our time fades, remember the worn path we've traversed in the winter of our love © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Try more love poems   here.

these say love

these say love a tender touch upon the shoulder, a bed made with unasked grace, a flower placed upon the desk, a card sent just because; these say love an overlooked mistake, an oven baked meal, an understanding smile, an open conversation; these say love a walk in the moonlight, a remembered anniversary, a favorite dessert, holding hands in the car; these say love playing your love song, candles in the bath, following his rules, following her rules; these say love © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤

she does scrimshaw

she d ❤ es scrimshaw she does scrimshaw on roses, her velvety touch, she does marvelous work maybe a little too much she uses red ones and white ones and pink ones too you'd be amazed at the carving that she can do she engraves love symbols, like hearts and flowers she can do this so long, for hours and hours she started her scroll-work in another place, too lately she carves on my heart, what can i do? my heart trembles and shivers when she sculpts away she's taken to doing this everyday she carefully, softly, carves with her scrimshander's art i can feel the markings when we're apart deftly, her fine tools carve and create i sit still for her artwork, no matter how late she's engraved her name in the center, so deep she said it's forever, it's there for keeps i never objected and i never will her artistry enthralls me her love ever fills © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ More love poetry  here.

your kiss is so

your kiss is so your kiss is so sweet, just like bee's honey you kiss is so bright, you make grey skies sunny your kiss is so soft, like satin or silk your kiss is so soothing, like warm mother's milk your kiss is so tender, from a heart full of care your kiss is so light, I'm floating on air your kiss is so stirring, I can hardly sit still your kiss is so female, all laces and frill your kiss is so soulful, from deep down inside, your kiss is open, nothing to hide your kiss is so luscious, like a strawberry sundae your kiss is so great, you make every day Fun Day your kiss is so fiery, my heart's all aflame your kiss is so different, never the same © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image by:  Kyrre Gjerstad via Flickr creativecommons

Christmas Day is here!

Christmas Day is here! Christmas toys assemble, little armies in strict array Christmas days tremble with memory's magic display Christmas ways resemble lost youth's joyous play Christmas snow remembers forgotten childhood days Christmas tinsel twinkles with the blinking colored lights Christmas memories sparkle in the yellow candlelight  Christmas tears sprinkle on the lonely winter nights Christmas years dwindle as they amble out of sight Christmas morn' sends Santa down the warm chimley, there Christmas morn' brings Jesus in the cold wood manger, dear Christmas morn' rings soundly, filled with festive cheer Christmas morn' sings loudly: Christmas Day is here! © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Merry Christmas Card:  By Souvenir Post Card Company, New York (eBay front back) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Soldier Image:  Brownie in Christmas Land by Marian Jack, 1922 via open clipar...
Christmas Ready Santa's elves are hardly nappin'. Their tools and toes are wildly tappin'. Somethin' great is gonna happen! Santa's checkin' both his lists. His heart is torn by naughty twists. Someone's gonna get some gifts. Santa's elves are ultra busy. Their workshop's in such a tizzy. Somethin' makes them all quite dizzy! Santa's counted all the toys. His presents set for good girls and boys. Someone's gonna be full of Christmas joys. Santa's elves keep such fast pace. Their arms and legs run like in a race. Somethin's goin' on in this place! Santa's packed his magic sleigh. His reindeer wait for the word "Away'! Someone's ready for Christmas Day! Santa's elves are fully flyin'. Their hearts and minds are truly tryin'. Somethin's comin' on the horizon! Santa's off to do his duty. His s...
