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

^^^I could see the road and long ride home so clearly in this stanza.
...and the link went along nicely with this ink.
A lovely piece, Archie! Xoxo

"...Who'll take the only hearts they got
and throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
in the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
and who will get the bill
Lover's will....
....Lovers will do almost anything
for the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will, you know that lover's will...." Bonnie Raitt
Yes there is a long road to real love.....matters not the distance, nor the peril, nor the sacrifice. The capture of that "real love" is truly worth everything. So much more inside the journey. My mind bounced around a lot of places to arrive here. Glad you found it "lovely" : )
