Screen names and Nicknames… On cars and corny gestures

Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 in Daydreams, Fiction, Writtens
 
For the love of the game...
 

This is both: a recent story, and a story ten years in the making.  The screen name “RoadsPoet” replaced “TwiceRoadsFool” years ago, when i closed a chapter in my life.  (The story on TRF has already been told here, if you managed to find it).  On RoadsPoet, the name tells a game i simply LOVE to play. Over the top courtship is something i adore, and i am sad that its lost on most of my generation. In High school, a friend and i with similar interests used to embark on wild-eyed journeys of surprising the objects of our affections.  It became a driving journey (literally), and we all know the pleasure i get from circumstantial badassery on the road.  But romance (imho) is best served in surprise- And if you shouldnt be able to be in two places at once, its so much more fun. 

On the move
 

 Recently i had been spending a lot of time and nights with a woman, but work was tearing me away… A few thousand miles, for a week. I was smart enough to know that reality would step in that week, and things would forever change.  So i wrote my heart out in verse (by hand, which takes me forever), while i shouldve been packing. The town slept around me, as i compiled my silly notion(just my simple writing, sitting on a bed of roses), and i hit the road. There wasnt a need to rush- Kara was asleep, i had 6 hours til my flight (it was midnight), but… Therein is the dream. Not just for racing, but for knowing of delivery, and expectation, and all that goes with.  

  Tonight, to sleep, i drift alone, arms untangled, and not holding,
As they have, us intertwined, against your body i was folding,
In my eyes, as eyes lay opened, staring up upon my ceiling,
(Though eyes closed stare out to you, as sleeping eyes stared back), im feeling
 
Content in the memories, as i reflect on opened doors,
The ones inside of me you pushed, (and maybe one or two of yours)
Found, as friends, as you see me, the way i let down all the faces
When your eyes peek, into my soul, delving in to all the spaces
 
Always hidden, and once closed, a part of me i thought defeated
The way with you, ambition lost: returns, (the passion not conceded)
As charades do not project, (for when they do you see them showing)
Other thans, and so i know, theres comfort in that you are knowing
 
Truth, and lies, when as i speak them, how so well you read my face?
And how (my friend) i love you dearly, when you put me in my place.
The way (without attempt) you reign, the Crazy out of me with ease,
The times bewildered i dont argue, anytime, you just say please…
 
‘A way with me’, you have (at least), though such a way cannot be named,
But those who thought they knew me best, wide eyed, that i- easily tamed
Through words, a voice, the way it soothes me, as your words dance in my head
Hearing everything weve spoken, wondering, what went unsaid?
 
Best friend dancing in my heart, the way weve gone beyond the space
Between us, as our lips have touched, and my hands have commenced to trace
You, and memorized each inch, as they rolled across your skin
All the fires, all desires, you ignite in me, within
 
This week (me weak), and the last few, all the times that i hold dear,
Were heaven, holding you so close, telling you ill always be here,
And i meant it, and ill keep it, any way youll have me ’round,
In my heart, you hold so much, forever, us on solid ground.
 
Words that dance, from memory, when intertwined, your smile teased,
“Leaving me this week” you pouted, and the way that i was pleased,
Love you Pine, as we were folded, and the way my heart would waver,
Love you too, as i replied, behind closed eyes, as i would savor,
 
Words, and days, and lofty dreams, winding carefully round thee,
Doting on, as characters, we read, and how id love to be
Employed: in ’saving’, entertaining, loving: such a job description
fancies me, but as a patient, i await doctors prescription.
 
So heres Thank You, for these weeks, youve given me what no one could,
Life ignited, once again, a heart i thought that never would,
Open up unto another, the way my heart has taken to
My friend, my lover, my tree hugger, hope you know Pine Tree loves you.
 
box-edited-copyIm not always well received on adventures like this, and i suppose part of being this kind of person is learning that a lot of people will laugh, make fun, or just flat out stare incredulously at you for such an idea.  I had several hours of flying, sleeping, dreaming, and thinking, to contemplate what kind of a reaction this would propagate.  There is a fascinating safety net in doing such a thing when you know youll be 2000 miles away when someone reacts.  Still (while validation escapes me currently), i sit here sometimes… And reread the thank you note i got that morning. For at least ONE instant, the “crazy” in me was desirable, if not enjoyed. I’ll hold on to that, because *I* know i didnt make the whole thing up.
 
Looking back on my post mentioning The Notebook, i find something intriguing:  Everyone that reads that book or sees that movie dotes on Noah (more than likely as the readers/watchers are all women, LOL)… But there is something to be said for Allison as well.  For the kind of a woman who wouldnt be afraid… Of such a crazy taking place.
