Array ( [sid] => 88261 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Hotel Texas [time] => 2005-03-21 18:35:49 [hometext] => For those who know me you know what I am talking about. ANd I am still wondering why you would call a hotel in Japan Hotel Texas... Anyway I am mush ball. Comments good and bad always appreciated. [bodytext] => And after all was said and done,
the music low
and the sun
waking for the day,
it was there we lay.
That fast cash sleazy motel
(where inhibitions fell),
that dingy hole that for no reasons other than you,
was nothing less than a palace,
a paradise.

I was no whore last night
(no lollipop kissing fool)
I was a queen
I was beautiful
and I was yours

But the reality is
nothing can be so perfect
("all that glitters ain't gold"
and even it becomes tarnished and old)
the clock on that fuzzy old set was a bitter
sneering reminder.

Time.
Which tends in moments as these
to be robbed from starry eyes and dreamy hearts

Every minute was a hurtling second
but though they were fleeting,
each breath was cherished for all it was worth.

If ever a desire for life to stand still,
pause,
or even tread a little slower was to be had
it was there in the place I breathed you in
(skin on skin)

If ever I could hold on,
cling,
to something,
anything,
just a little longer
(please)
It would be you.
Then.
There.
It would be you...

But the tighter I wrapped around you
the more the sun,
peeking through that dirty window pane,
taunted.
As if its purpose all along was to deny me another taste of this secret perfection.

Morning had melted our night together
and in doing so it burned tired eyes and stung longing souls.
Dreams faded.
(Wishes rarely come true)
so it was then I had to leave my palace
and kiss sleepy goodbyes to you.

This was both joyful and tragic to read.
The imagery was right there, it held me from begining to end.
Seems odd to say this but a song comes to mind...
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need...
Don't change a thing in it.

that dingy hole that for no reasons other than you,
was nothing less then a palace,

some things can be transforming. I enjoyed this.

Well I I'm in a hotel in Texas right now, where someone's kids running up and down the hall and slamming doors are driving me nuts. .. And wishing felt like that. and thinking.maybe I'm too old to feel like that. ..But anyway it reminds me of younger years when anywhere, anytime would have been exceptional. lovely write!
