You enter my thoughts Like robbing a bank A calamity Our meeting Like fate wasn’t even paying attention She never looked up from her phone We weren’t supposed to meet Nothing good came of it Yet your memory sticks to me Like ink on a white shirt Spreading all over me Until I’m ruined the only beauty I see is hope That my real love is grabbing his keys Right now somewhere Headed out the door to meet me Even if it’s not today Right now And like a bank robber I take back every thing you’d thought you stole Knowing the space I take up Is just enough And I never needed an I’m Sorry
Took a Greyhound bus to my love Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace Story of a nexus That grew into love A love that connects us Across state lines Swamp to the desert One leads to the other Landscapes fade and change Wide open range Leaving plenty of space to fill with love Daydreams Of real things That keep us intertwined Took a Greyhound bus to my love So I could dream the whole way Of the way She makes me feel Smiles on my face for real Green eyes sparkling through the night Holding my baby tight Wheels on the road Turning round and round Like the feels in my heart Hitting like a dart Pulling up on the target Of my affection No question It’s been worth the whole ride
I have written a memoir about my trips to Marfa Texas and how the desert energy changed me and helped me to heal from a traumatic past. It’s a journey through the high desert landscape and my emotional landscape. Check it out on Amazon if you’re interested! I will launch it from Marfa on Oct 13th 2024
