Delicate fingers Clasped tightly around A small gold cylinder Clock watching Until the hour She no longer has to twist Time into business Once out the door She climbed into her mustang Turning the corner out of town Just outside the city limits She stops to put the top down Pulling hair pins and swinging Auburn tresses to her shoulders A white silk scarf will do She Ties it gently beneath the chin She grins at her reflection In the rearview mirror The gold cylinder in hand With a twist she slicked Her lips in gloaming color She floored the pedal spinning Into the street, headed into sundown Trysting the vespering wind Her station tuned in perfectly Her heart speeding to the beat Knowing the rhythm and it’s crescendo As the miles flew up behind her The more somatic she became To her reason for scarlet red |

Dear Regina, how often do you let your hair down and put behind your life of stress. The feedom of the wind and the untamed power of the Mustang, dressed to kill awaiting midnight till again reality awakens. This made me feel like taking time out and enjoying a little life. Loved the read, great stuff. Sincerely Rick |

Now, that would be a road worth traveling. Spirited and rousing work, for sure. Willie B |

It seems like a very normal activity, applying colour to the lips, but you've described it so well. Even the letting down of the tresses and the relaxed feeling of wind in your face...  |

There's almost as much freedom in this as riding a 4 legged Mustang into the wind. |

Oh this sounds like something I would love to do, just get in the car, let my hair down ('course it's short) but I can pretend, put on some shades like yours, red lipstick and follow my dream (whatever that is)! LOL Oh I loved this one, made me dream a little. (okay a lot!) ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 11-04-2001).] |

I can identify with a lot of this here. Top down, cruisin, tunes blastin. But I've learned one thing, never wear lipstick in a convertible. The wind whips your hair around your face and you get red lines all over your face from where it went into your lipstick!!!! That's the Tracey lesson of the day. LOL If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
