Obsessive steed…the wild of formidable impulse
Brought to life in the honor of passion
Bravo! The wind can power fanatical change
Full resuscitation in gusts and fury

That lather wrought upon the quivered flesh
Leaving empty and content in spent pant
Unadorned and unbuttoned gasping for mercy
A ride to take the breath away

And drive…no map or compass, only destination
For once upon this course a miracle in transmigration
Thrill! As fire blazes from the floor, leaving tracks in scorch
Burning rubber, popping wheelies…all hands on deck

All heart…driven mad in but a touch of lips
On full alert, to hop aboard the plane of rounded edges
Hardy oak and fragrant cedar their contort on hammock springs
The widened eyes rhythm in the fear of thumping impulse

Happily confused, I shyly pass my ticket to the driver

Giggle...That was fun!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Are you on a caffeine high right now? Too
much hot cocoa? .... I know... the store
ran out of popcorn and you are going stark
raving mad......................

Ya know that one could take this poem and
twist and turn it in about 25 directions??

Or was that 28 directions?
