((4) Keeping Company Poem by Luis Gil de la Puente
((4) Keeping Company
My eyes keep getting misty this winter.
So much quiet cold at night
just to wait for you in the morning.
I am weak
of the unstable kind.
My wheels are used up
but I like the way
you handle speed
on those secondary roads.
Please, regulate the mirrors
and you´ll get a better view
at the sides.
I´ve always been with you.
I never failed you,
not even once,
in spite of that personal way
to drive in the city.
I understand your fear
because you use
brakes and throtle
in its pace.
I´ve learnt to accept
you prefer me
to have a smoke…
I know you can clean up
the morning frost
and your coffee smells
of loneliness.
I like your sensitivity to light,
you can feel its joy.
I can see it too.
Being with someone you love for a long time make you understand every bit of him... as if he drives you like a car that you can anticipate his every moves, you become one... you the car and him your driver! A smart expression of love and passion, a 10.
A very compelling write. A bit sad, but the gifted poet is always willing to give himself away in words. Take care, Luis. Kind wishes, Sandra

Sadly, for most people-the more cars they have, the better. Learn to cherish the one and the only, that's the way we shall be.... I think. Nevertheless, bravo and 10 from me as well.
