Holding hands To show Affection Walking one way In wrong Direction Of trafficked street Subject to Head on collision Better might be Your love discreet To make sure The wrong way Is right decision I wish there were A land for me I’d close my eyes And drive for miles Never hit a Lover as me Love is free I’ll take you Hitchhikers all Along the way |

Hey Walt great play on words....wonderful read....even when two are together things can be so wrong even though they look fine... being trapped inside a bad relationship makes one want to run away to a better place..... good writing!! |

LOL Walt, your title got me! You are so creative with your words! As far as the 'gas' goes, you'll have to resort to the natural kind from beans...like it was in the Alley <*\\\>< The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you. |

I see you're beginning to lean toward free verse a little here lately. Unexpected surprises from Walt. |
