The Long Ride Home.......

         
Rain.......          
         
….all day long          
throughways more fitting of boats          
than cars          
         
yet I travel a far because...          
         
…..I love you      
and you need me          
in this moment          
you may not know it          
but a thousands miles          
from here to now will show it........          
         
…..I will meet you along the gulf shore          
         
Illuminating.....          
…lost are the words          
spoken openly and freely today          
having shown me the way          
and the need, yes          
the insanity inside the surreal          
supersedes all restraints          
of sane minds......          
         
….that black ribbon rolls across several states          
an impromptu excursion          
the reflection of white and bright yellow paints          
my eyes filled with sand, burning like fire          
but it's my desire to be where you are        
right now........          
         
….we need each other desperately, passionately          
         
if for but only a few fleeting moments          
it's worth the drive, worth the wait          
drive all night long, park at yonder gate          
waiting.....          
         
...for the morning          
to rise upon your beautiful bright, brown eyes          
and your alluring mahogany skin          
         
just a few moments from my call          
nervously you pull up and find yourself in          
my strong arms......          
…..love is tired of waiting in vain          
I just want to hold you, console you          
be still the moment and make you see          
the reality of you and me, my love          
you are my destiny........          
         
"...you're all I need to get by..."          
         
“Crazy, crazy crazy....going out of mind”          
     
...I'd do it all again          
if you ask me to          
you are my kindred          
we are a matchless “two of a kind”          
         
"you are my love, you are my heaven"          
   
cautiously          
touching you, touching me          
feeling the reality of *us*          
Careless whispers, tender kisses          
we share this waking dream          
         
1000 thousand miles in the pouring rain          
you may not completely understand          
many will dare to complain          
         
....I'm sorry for their plight          
         
…...under the cover of cloudy skies       
14 hours through the darkest night          
these stolen moments are a witness          
to our beautiful now...          
         
…...I love you and you needed me
