Counting hours with you in this car,
watching your profile glide over time and miles
and See Rock City and the Bucksnort exit that always makes you smile--
I wish I played a steel guitar.

I’d write a country anthem
about a woman with a name like yours
and tip my hat down over my eyes
and sing you home.

The kind of song you can sing along to
when you’re drinking a beer with sawdust in your hair,
that makes you lay a wistful look across the table at your honey,
and she gives you a blow job in your Camaro ‘cause it’s your anniversary.

And they would know I sang about you
and I’d tell the juke box world
that love is twisty as a country road-- in wild horse saloons--
but it is straight as the crow flies in reality.
*****

1st line from Worm Moon by SeattleRain.
Last line from Crow Moon by Tathagata

This brought back lovely memories-thanks

I found this to be sexy-yet very romantic. If a man wrote a poem about me--I would make love to him all night long to show my appreciation. Well done, Darlin'

Perfect.

You should learn how to play the steel guitar.

I felt the character in this poem and I sincerely liked him. I think he should be played by Bradd Pitt. Brad Pitt and a steel guitar poet on a road trip. Go write the screen play. :) Get Lyle Lovet to do the sound track. Go on, Mutt, time is a tickin....
