Love’s Road Trip

As the evening shadows fold the day away

While the lonely loon calls his mate to stay

My tired eyes look toward the Northen Star

Searching the universe wondering where you are

The alarm clock breaks into troubled sleep

Have to  turn the pillow from last night’s weep

The sun opens the day with a burst of light

Smell of perked coffee I’ll be all right

Paper boy flying  by on a two wheel bike

Robin sings a song into a flower mic

Squeaky gate swings on a rusted hinge

My heart aches from this pity binge

            On the road need to find the right line

            Touch her heart again and make her mine

            She offered eternal love once I turned away

            And I paid the price for what I didn’t say

I only hope I have a second chance

To hold her close in a slow moving dance

Whisper sweet thoughts veiled in happy tears

Vows of forever and ever the rest of our years.
