A Ride Just For Tonight Poem by Doris Cornago

A Ride Just For Tonight

Rating: 5.0


Shallow valleys, shadow alleys
Lonely cat on a moon chase
Discards strewn wayward
Niggardly, sick at heart
Flamboyant tomcat
Lugs a flashlight
Eyes shining
Alighting
Quickly
Like
A neon
Glinting
Dark knight
Beckons to me
His steed prances
Inviting me for a ride
Just for tonight he warns
Tomorrow may forget sorrow
Unpredictable lies his treasure
In distant lands, cold with snow

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is how a widow feels, on being alone, shadows creeping in, the uncertainty of her position in society. She's pitied, people think of all possibilities about why she does with her free time and when anybody is kind to her, this person is a suspect for nefarious motives. Aren't we all widows in a sense? Through life, we are co-dependent, we do not really know how soon the road travelled together ends. The sooner you realize this, the earlier your adaptation to an unpredictable life. Today is truly what we all have, a sobering wakeup call.

Take what is offered as no one can promise tomorrow. This is hindsight but the thing called grace might not come knocking again. Should you want to say no, remember the world can end tonight, and none will know it to prepare for it. This goes for all kinds of offers and opportunities. Impotence is not willing to take a risk for happiness.: -)
