Kansas City Jubilee (Back to You) I have found myself on the heartworn highways promising I'll make it back home to you again and again I have written for you my broken pen poetry promising I'll make the last train back to you through wind and rain Every rail rolling off into the distance every hotel night spent in penance I would write the whole night through I would write these letters to you I know your eyes would never see but they were just for me just for me I have found myself in the California spring San Francisco sunlight warm my bones my aching bones I have written for you my open heart poetry promises I'd make to the dialtone I'd wonder if you were even home Have I forgotten how to come back to you? have I forgotten how I could be true? is the scent of your dark hair lost to me? my memories falling away, lost at sea? Don't know where to turn, wherever I roam Don't know if I can find my way home back to you I have found myself outside Salt Lake City hot guitar strings have bled me dry too many times I have bled myself into my scrap poetry promising my promises won't lie turning lies to rhymes Every long dark road off into the night every hour of light spent in fright spinning in dreamland safe from harm sleeping quietly in your arms tell the world, tell the girl I love send my message, send a dove carrying my messages carrying my poetry pages back to you just for you I'll make it back to you someday you will know me by the song I sing I'll make it back home someday I'll get to you on heartstring wings back to you "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey [This message has been edited by soul drifter (09-27-2004 03:39 AM).] |

Zach, this is my favorite from your pen. It's filled with the music of a heart that knows how to feel what is real. Thank you, for sharing this beatiful piece. |
