"Ride"

130 MPH
Down the Keys Highway
Cherry Red,
Mustang
Nothing on the radio
but
my favorite band
The smell of tires
and
sea salt
hitting the street.
Stars blurring into the moon.
Relative to physics,
Relative to love,
I cruise the open road.





*ED NOTE:* hope everybody had a great summer.September is in the air...
and the children with their noses to the books.Enjoy life and have fun...
more importantly, lets enjoy Preal Jam, too!!!!:)
A whisper and a thrill

  • I can see a gal with a big smile on her face, PJ blaring, breeze ripping through her hair, just enjoying the freedom of the open road. :D Cool, Ali!

    I would like Ed to read it.Its part of my wild side.Cruisin down the road at warp speed like a race car driver(its in my blood).Nothing on the radio but Pearl Jam and radar Love...protect by the higher power,venting about poor career choices, a life of poverty, and just hanging in there!If I said it wasnt a true story, I might be a liar.I just love crusin the open road...driving with 300 dollars in the pocket...to the poconos or some moiuntain retreat...finding a campground...no one bothering you...being with someone you wish to start a relationship with....


    I miss you too babe!I hope to see you at the philly show.We should make Ed
    a banner.....:)

  • Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
    Let's climb through the tide
    Penetrate the evenin' that the
    City sleeps to hide
    Let's swim out tonight, love
    It's our turn to try
    Parked beside the ocean
    On our moonlight drive
    Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
    Let's climb through the tide
    Surrender to the waiting worlds
    That lap against our side
    Nothin' left open
    And no time to decide
    We've stepped into a river
    On our moonlight drive
    Let's swim to the moon
    Let's climb through the tide
    You reach your hand to hold me
    But I can't be your guide
    Easy, to love you
    As I watch you glide
    Falling through wet forests
    On our moonlight drive, baby
    Moonlight drive
    Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
    Down, down by the ocean side
    Gonna get real close
    Get real tight
    Baby gonna drown tonight
    Goin' down, down, down
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    I hate cars......
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    Carry it on! You got us in the car. Now take us all somewhere. Places of geography, of mind, of musical imagination, of sound. Carry on. Steer us towards the clear. :)

    I cruise the open road,
    with Ed on my mind.
    The patience of the Gods-
    test him through his music.
    His words ream me with the truth
    that life is so short
    And i must choose to live long.
    HIs body is on my mind....
    He carries me up to the sands of Florida
    on my relief and vacation
    from the inevitable work
    that I must face daily,
    weekly,
    yearly,
    a lifetime.
    He says,
    "you don't know what you're getting yourself into"
    but I know wholeheartedly
    it is of a glorious day and time when we shall meet...
    and the music will then have a melody.

    I cruise the open road until then.
