Aquaplane

Syd

 

Full of momentum 
Intoxicated on summer's sunshine 
No respect for the rain 
I need to stop suddenly 
Can't do it gently
Slam on the breaks 
And drift eloquently
In slow motion...
I aquaplane 

 

Danger in beauty
Beauty in wisdom
Bones fracture brilliantly
Like light in prisms 
No room for logic
Slow motion gliding
Common sense hiding... 
Cataclysm 

 

Palace of wisdom?
If I live, leave me bleeding
Sucking moist air
With blood, hair and glass
Wrapped around my face
Whiplash with no headrest
Leave me crippled 
And crumpled...


 
Another rusted ruin
At the side of the road to excess...

    An intriguing read Syd - - I love the way you wind words around to obtain the flow of momentum -- and a last line to sigh for which gives the reason for risk-taking - - as "the road to excess" - a brilliant write.
