Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is married love: the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.
Today’s poem is a poem about a married couple who live in the truck they drive across the country.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .
Yours,
Nick Gordon
We drive a tractor/trailer unit
Spinning down the pike.
That way we can find the time
To make love when we like.
You sleep, I drive, I sleep, you drive,
But then we stop awhile.
And when we get back on the road,
We share the same soft smile.
Some say that such togetherness
Is living behind bars,
Never free to let yourself
Expand out to the stars.
But being on the road with you
Is what I want from life.
There is a universe inside
A husband and a wife.
There is a universe so rich
That should all heaven move
Across the way on eighteen wheels,
I'd much prefer our love.
