Love Poem: Seeking Revelation

Seeking Revelation

I travel the whole land
of blistering sun and whirring wind
to seek revelation;
and I come from the deep south,
delivering my freight to the north:
making of  this lonely life a damnation...

I drive past Dallas,
the city of cowboys...
to chase the fumes 
of your burning engine;
you didn't leave a note
or didn't bother to call...
your wavy,brown hair 
blowing and glowing and
you laugh  in your
Chevy convertible;
who's that man you are talking to?
Am I being trashed by you?

I spent long hours driving, 
hearing my own voice 
trailing off into silence...
even my words have no meaning;
there's no strenght and main:
to assure me I won't die in vain!

I trave the whole land
to seek revelation
through cities with steel and glass skycrapers
and busy habors jammed with sailships;
I stop for the night at a nearby hotel
to go to sleep...to dream dreams 
I can't imagine to be real,
why haven't I used my intuition?

I've been trying to save money
to buy the dream-home you dreamed of;
but in the hush and rush of this daily living,
I've neglected your feminity...
but the most important thing you wished for:
was to have me beside you and feel complete!
