Traveller

I stayed

with you

in the

Chelsea hotel

on my 8-track

with Imagine

and Blue.

You were the

truest of my

secret friends

with Lennon

and Joni

and my famous

raincoat was

your favourite

colour too.

When times

got tough

and I gunned

the twin webbers

and drove

nowhere much

it was you

who played

the songs

of my youth

that held me

between the

blurred lines

of truth

and sanity.

When you

asked Suzanne

to take you

and she let

the river answer

it whispered

its story and

I travelled too.
