Sanctuary

That place that wreaks havoc
cigarette boxes lying on the floor
Drowning in angst - your place
call it home, call it sanctuary
Call it whatever -
tell it to the bartender
Who's pouring another 
whiskey in your honor
You're the one that's
on top tonight - lovin' life 
With your ripped denim jeans
and smoke-stained leather 
Pour me another! you say
so you could get back on
The motorcycle to heaven
and never slow down

I can feel the loneliness and suffering in this. Even if they are the person of the hour at the bar, it doesn't make any difference for even in a crowded club they still feel alone, Nicely done Trisha.

One man's idea of sanctuary, cleverly construed. The image of the biker comes through loud and clear! BRAVO Trisha! Best wishes, Keith 7

Thank you very much. But it's not necessarily about a male biker, it can be about a troubled female biker as well.
