When,  I saw..I couldn't stop, not now, not then
nor...I believe...ever.

It was more than I imagined, more than I dreamed....
more than my heart would allow to beat at other than
a speed beyond the edge of light, beyond the sound
barrier...into the cosmos at the breakneck speed of
10,000 riderless, lathered horses...nostrils flaring
into the chill of night.. as the Ice Queen rides
and a fire's flicker pummels blue eyes....

with a speck, just a speck of black on
deep shimmering blue.

What a gloriously impassioned write! It gave me  tingles! ~ the good kind!

It read as though you wrote it straight from your passionate soul ~ and without an edit needing to be made!

Ride on, Poet Man!
