Lift Off Poem by Nicky McNeil

you take me on exotic travels through time, space and body
all from within the expance of this one tiny bedroom
my point of departure begins in your ports that call me
off on journeys that take me across your valleys, over peaks
around curves, into wetlands that offer so much

deeper and deeper into destinations of wonderment and desire
you always punch my ticket right on time and on target
and even handle my baggage without much complaint
no safety belt needed, only your warm secure embrace

no coffee, tea or milk for me, thank you please
just the honey that drips sweetly from your lips will suffice
a rough landing, or soft and slow, both can be nice
a round trip ticket? , why yes, it always better twice
