Country Field

I wanna go shoot some beer cans, light up the night,and drink the moon’s shine. I wanna see you twirl, in that summer dress kiss your neck, while headlights burn through my heart. Fireflies’ll get dizzy when we dance between their flurry, We’ll fall on grandma’s quilt and stare at the stars. It can be so bright in a country field, when it’s not so lonely… And your smile, is bringin’ me home. Those muddy tracks were worth it; got us stuck in each other’s arms. You’ve got me thinkin’… That a city girl, with a country heart ain’t so bad.. You got me thinkin’.. that the sun might rise… and I won’t even notice.. cos’ your starlight is just as bright, as any blue eyed country sky, I’ve ever seen. So, lets pour a little more moonshine in these cups, and dance til’ tomorrow. We’ll worry bout’ gettin’ home when the day comes a-knockin’.. but I don’t wanna think about anything else, but the smile pressed against my cheek. This country field is heaven, and you’re the Angel ridin’ shotgun. Holdin’ me still, on this buck-wild adventure…. makin’ me feel like bein a cowboy ain’t bein’ lost.. Like bein’ in this field, is bein’ at home, your arms… the rest that I’ve been looking for. This field, the home, I’ve always had… but never thought, I was searchin’ for.. -James Kelley 2014, All rights reserved.

"Dance between their flurry" I love this line and I love this about your poetry. You go into the spaces between the words and find the feelings and scenes tucked away and bring them back into the light. This is a perfect poem of country romance.
