would you drive, awhile
it’s after midnight
top’s down
wind’s dark
not a single star more
could fit the sky

I can breathe, again
you here
beside me
hand on the gearshift
mine over yours
you drive

radio background
to a night
that lets me sleep
passenger trusting
in the song

That particular trust that lies beneath this poem is sometimes very difficult to find...in your sleep, you have found it very well...

(big hugggsssssss) Awwwww, I love the relaxing and comforting feel of this poem, sweet friend, what a wonderful feeling it is to lie beneath the stars side-by-side for a joy-ride with the one you love! (sigh) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Duncan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kellie, we do not post personal derrogatory remarks towards individuals at PIP. Please respect our rules....thank you


The poem was good. I was expecting it to turn tragic at the end. Good use of structure and words.
