Aquaplane
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 brakes
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...
Intoxicated on summer's sunshine

Bones fracture brilliantly

This write has a raw message, delivered with terrific verbiage, married to this adroit syllabic flow, that is wonderful to behold. Triple threat! Great write. Glad the random poem selector brought me here.
