James Long Poet Prose Poetry

~ (~) ~ Sailor Johnny and Little Lily ~ (~) ~

~ (~) Sailor-Johnny-his wife Little-Lilly I know them, (you'll want to too) his Father gave him 
two-fold full-buckets of-gold-for his-prize. He sailed-his butt-strait-away right home-to-bring-it-
to-her... laid it down. (~) ~  


~ (~) Lilly-now she's-having-a-baby... . Shh... twin-baby's... ! Johnny he doesn't know, they'd 
been trying for years. Their Father, Mother's yes-their all-eager... ! (~) ~  


~ (~) She hummed me a song about it once tender-melodies divine sweet-tones-deep-pail-
shades-of her-innocence-reflected. Holding her belly the beauty-now-she whispers in his ear... 
as-he-raises his head touches her belly warm tears covering his eyes...  

"Now isn't love just the prize?"  

I see why it's to die for. (~) ~  

~ (~) Those hands-of love-God-always with-time whittling-yes-tip-tap-tap-tap-whittle-whittle... ! 
(~) ~
