I leave for work at a bright and early noon. My drive into work is almost entirely highway. I leave my apartment and within 2 minutes I am on the interstate. I get off the interstate and within 1 minute I am in the parking lot at work. It is a pretty simple drive. I may bend the speed limit just a bit, because driving 55 on this road will get me ran over. I often see policemen and their radar guns. I then notice that I am doing 70 in a 55 zone and wondered exactly how fast do I have to be going to get a ticket, because nothing ever happens.

Today was a definite curiosity. I hop on the interstate and pick up to 65 to avoid being trampled. As I am driving along, a county policeman drives around me, and proceeds to leave me slowly in his wake. No lights. No siren. He is just driving off and leaving me. He wasn't raving to a scene. He was just driving to fast. So, being the occasional agitator that I am, I pick up to 70+ to catch up to him. I finally catch him and pass him at 75. So I settle back to 70, and he passes me AGAIN. Not to let him surpass me, I pass him back. Now we are both doing 80 in a 55 when he passes me for a 3rd time. I have run out of interstate, at this point, and have to get off for work, putting an end to my race. I was somewhat disgruntled that I didn't win. I was looking forward to the "do you know how fast you were going?" I had my "do you realize how fast WE were going" all prepared.

I realized, after the fact, that my registration has expired. Then it dawns on me. I had an expired license plate and was passed 3 times while speeding by the same policeman. Exactly who do I have to kill to get pulled over in this town? I realize it is a 6 lane straight interstate and it is way underrated for speed. It turns to a 70 mph zone a few miles ahead. So there wasn't really a safety issue with the speeds, but come on! I passed a policeman at 80 in a 55! In retrospect, while saftey wasn't an issue, loosing my license and jacked up insurance rates for racing a cop might have been a bit excessive price to pay for proving a point.

Feel as a warm wind kisses your tender cheek
Don't listen but feel, this simple touch must speak
Ever so simple the touch, but so much more
Longing touch of fingertips, whisper adore
In gentle warm waves, born of this one hearts truth
A million soft kisses, reaching out for you

One chance in dim light, to gaze into those eyes.
One moment in the night air, to shed this mask.
Before those beautiful eyes, nothing unseen.

A prayer for a moment, to never pass by.
Answers there for questions, to afraid to ask.
Let me gaze into you, my beautiful dream.

In this world, there does not exist more miles, than I would cross for one simple kiss.
Miles cannot measure the joy of two hearts beating together.
A love that binds and quietly leaving the world behind.
The most glorious part of life's grand design. Two beats. Yours. Mine.

Listening to a heart beat the words are so clear. I am lost in love, yet my words do not appear. With lips frozen in time, how can my words reach delicate ear? My message in a bottle contains words all too true. Simply, beautiful dream, though my lips may not move, I do love you.

In a day
In an instant
In a moment with you
My heart races
My eyes go soft
My sun shines anew

A delicate face cradled in a large unworthy hand. Listen closely. It's story is there, listen and understand. As soft and warm as a gentle summer wind, feel its caress. Hear it whisper again and again.

Like starlight flashing across perfect southern skies,
Still pools reflect tiny delicate rays of light.
Diamonds sparkling brightly in the dim autumn night,
Life, love, heaven and forever found in those eyes.

Is there a quiet place, in this world for me?
That peace is found in the heart beat of one true.
Can you miss a thing that you have never known?
I have missed you since the sun's first beam.
Should the journey end, before tired legs are spent?
Even if old legs fade, my heart will not tire.
Can you hide, behind lies when the truth was shown?
The lie would be to deny this heart's one dream.
Will winds change, because a heart cannot relent?
This heart need not winds to lift it higher.
Is there a time, when love is the one I see?
That time will be the instant I hold you.
