wild horses on asphalt

gray0328

 

he dreamed of wild horses on asphalt  

feet itching for a mustang’s roar  

but life hums steady not reckless  

a used outback parked outside  

 

feet itching for a mustang’s roar  

his eyes flickered with quiet rebellion  

a used outback parked outside  

a lesson nestled in worn leather seats  

 

his eyes flickered with quiet rebellion  

patience must learn to hold the wheel  

a lesson nestled in worn leather seats  

freedom comes with what you earn  

 

patience must learn to hold the wheel  

but life hums steady not reckless  

freedom comes with what you earn  

he dreamed of wild horses on asphalt

    They call it horsepower for a good reason. Nicely written Gray it speaks of freedom and of open roads. Lovely

    A very enjoyable read of having the freedom of the open highway in a wonderful car, enjoyed

  • Doggerel Dave

    In very few actual lines you painted a complete picture of longing. Really neat but strong.

    PS: Is that a form with a name?
