Night Drive

Motoring Man Woman Meanderings :)

Night Drive

Come take a little drive with me sweetie

Through night we’ll meander though it’s lights natural prism and manmade stop go .

We’ll cruise and switch lanes and you can indicate to me all your concerns and I will glance at you and with these eyes I’ll smile at you until you smile back ...till you watch and listen in wonder as I magically turn all your mountains into trivialities melting them away as I check my mirror not for upcoming traffic but for your face and we’ll chat about this and that and share journeys stories as trees and joggers whizz by we two... a man and woman death of time and distance night scents linger with feint carbon monoxide my blushing peroxide once there was a moment... no many but some things best not spoke of ..

''I once knew a man who’d think of a woman most every waking thought and sleeping too ...he’d see a beach and want to walk into waves let their freezing lapping fingers take him from his pain smothering his sensitive senses quenching his broken heart face upturned free now he’d kiss sun goodbye ...drifting seaward to god knows where.''.

.But enough of that as I change gear and you ask whatever happened to him ?...I shrugged .''.''I dunno sweetie ....how would I ...he was just a guy denied his love by life''....nothing ..more to say red brake light deftly stop start ..I enquire  ''are you ok ?...are you ok now?? ....Really don’t you let things get to you so much...are you feeling a wiccle bit better sweetie ? ''...you nod ...''good could be worse could’nt it ? you could be that poor man wanting to swim die ...now could’nt you ?''

You ask again ...''wonder what happened to him?.''......

I look at you ....''look at me sweetie''.
