Daytrip

 

Engine purred as it came to life

pawed the ground with wheels of fire

and we took off pouncing

a blur against the dusky night

we were alive, rushing down roads

we held tight

against a backdrop of twinkling stars

and satellites

 

Miles roared by

just us and the black void sky

tarmac exploded in sounds that poured

through the windscreen

into the blanket of night

its cooling embrace chilled 

as we evaporated out of sight

 

We saw clouds billow like fluffy cotton pillows

covering the sky,

under the darkness, you and I

as waves ripped through the peace

the sound like an angry beast unleashed

Earth and sea

in constant battle

as the winds join the orchestral rattle

 

And as the waters stroked the sands

you took my heart in your hand

placed a kiss on thirsty lips

as we let the darkness slip

let the moonlight guide

its brightness we hold inside

 

We laughed like hyenas,

with just sand beneath us

a grain of hope in this mean world’s arenas

a trickle of time,

a tickle of dust on this clock face of mine

and I was happy, 

the smile a sign

 

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & Love.
