Driving Through The Night Poem by jennifer jane pryce

I am racing through the night
The black road before me
Stretching and winding
Cold and black
Littered with golden pennies flipping and tossing in the wake
Of my speed

Wind rushing through time
The music is loud oh yes so loud and
It penetrates my very soul
Words of magical essence that
Provoke in me my own words

My heart beats faster
And things are changing, I am changing
I’m smiling, smiling with this anticipation
Your words have pursued me
Your words have moved me
Your words have wooed me

You and your voice light and fresh and
You are an innocent
Your voice captivates me and lingers in my memory
Soft and gentle
And a laugh that soothes me and yes makes me smile

You have stolen my heart right away
Without my permission, without my knowing
I am scared of this
Scared of this new feeling
This time it’s different and I am scared of this
Where are we going, how can we begin this
Journey together, tell me how

We have not met, and I am scared to look into
Your eyes all knowing and feeling
Are you the key that opens my heart
That begins the beginning of what I have been searching for
So very long, for so long now…….
Is this the love that will find me at last
At long last, oh my heart wishes it is so
Pounding and beating through me, telling me it is

You’ve never ever seem my face before
And there is still a long long way to go
Will my dreams come to life
Will I wake in the morning and know that
You are the one and all others fade away

All my dreams and hopes, all this time
Coming to life
Are you the one
Are you the one
I won’t let this not be true
I will follow you to the end of eternity
Even though I am by myself
You are there with me all the time
You are there yeah all the time
With me……………………………………..
And am I yours to keep, treasure and hold on to
Deep down inside me I know we are one
This is for you and you are for me.
