Laura Dee Poet Rhyme

Skyline Drive

Skyline Drive
by Kevin Robey
April 24, 2014

I laid to waste
The things I hate
Upon the gate
Of my escape

I Found the door
And stole the key
They wanted more
It wasn't free

I found the light
It blinded me
They weren't bright
Those memories

But it isn't real
It's not a dream
Just what I feel
Between the seams

I'll never leave
My insanity 
But when I breathe
I can almost see

This isn't hell
That much I know 
I'll never sell
I'll take it slow

The time has come 
To photograph 
The passing sun
My better half

I'll stay in time
While you pass me by 
I'll cross the line 
So we say goodbye

Don't need to justify
Why you fight alone
Laws we couldn't defy
This battle is our own

Soul mates never die
But that never was you
We'll always be allies
My friend, I hope it's true 

Two souls intertwined
Ive had it all along
Ten years inside our minds
A place we both belong

I stopped looking back
To hold the broken past
My bright eyes never black
I'll find some peace at last

Light refracts behind frosted glass
Looking outside this long bus ride
Too cold out there but this will last 
It's warm in here so come inside

Just one more time...

[finished this on a bus in Arkansas, passing the exit for "skyline drive", which became the title]
