a poem

Safe in the car at last

I peel off one heel then the next

the kiss/hug/bye play put to rest

Take care, home safe now's over with

I pull up my hair

and you know it's time to

cast off your mask, I'll cast off mine

slip into your seat, sink deep, and sigh

look at me

with that tell tale grin

that hook in your eye

and urge me on,

say, You go!

Out with the news we took care to save

in our very own hand

made play by play

list of who said what and

They said what?!

we talk and buzz, roar and rave,

Oh my god, yes! Oh my god, no!

on and on we go

all the way home

you know,

time does slip by

mile by mile

with you

love poems
