Looking Back

~ a little scribble ~

 

            

                        reinfried marass photography

 

 

      

 

Looking back,

                                 you drove too fast…

 

top down

fourth gear

silver bumpers shining in the blue light shadow of an impetuous moon

hair teased on a breeze

               scented of burning rubber and desire

 

Intoxicated

you lead me down an unknown road

somewhere beyond the realm of imagination

overwhelming to all my senses

                                 my only certainty…

                                                  I knew I loved you,

                                                 like the wind that stirs the night

 

So,

      I held on

through breathless bumps and dangerous curves

                and potholes that never did get filled

 

Looking back,

                                      you drove to fast…

 

                             but I always enjoyed the ride

funny Julie but although i feel you wrote this to a lover i kept thinking about Princess Grace of Monaco and the crash that killed her, anyway putting that to one side your poem held me in suspense on this wild journey,
' I knew I loved you,
like the wind that stirs the night'
Such are the lines that give beauty to your writing, its always a pleasure and an honor to read your so romantic poetry, thank you :)

There's a very good metaphor in this poem. Looking back, memories, driving too fast in life and still love it. It's a different kind of poem I use to read from you but again it's a masterpiece. Well done. :) Rudi

[MsJewel]

You are very kind Rudi. Thank you :) Julie
