I remember when the emotions ran deep and I was lost in what I felt I remember when I was flying solo and I knew him before we met ~~~~~~ I remember when thinking turned dangerous and feelings swam to the surface u and I were eye to eye both afraid to fly we took the greyhound that day due to circumstances beyond our control from one to coast to the other we rode along the concrete river carrying us back to the beginning ~~~~~~ I remember when common sense was lost on him and timing eluded us both and he followed us like you knew he would and I still remember do you??? ~~~kingsangel~~~ |

from one to coast to the other we rode along the concrete river carrying us back to the beginning You ask if those memories are shared... I'm betting they are... and hope healing comes to all involved. |

Well written my friend! Nothing special to pick out because it was all special. My Greyhound, hitch hiking rides, and drives in my TR3 were generally somewhere within the roads of Calif., Arizona, New Mexico, Okla, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Never got to make the Coast to Coast, But saw, did and heard enough in just those states to last a lifetime. Really enjoyed this piece. j. |

This is a winner and this is a keeper. A special lady and myself took that coast-to-coast ride out of necessity from LA to NY. The rest of the story is not worth telling. i am so taken by the wordplay of your poem, Angel4aKing. It is one of those that just gets under your skin, especially if youy have a personal stake in it as I do with that bus trip. ~~ Those who are silent are the first to be shot. ~~ |
