Why I Ride
Mountain Road
I was clearing out some old data CD's from my shelf and ran across a sort of poem I wrote while VFRD was still part of Delphi Forums, way way way back in the day.
Why I Ride
Riding my motorbike
Down a swift road
Leaning into a turn,
And then another
Kicking the gear
Dropping into third
Grabbing the throttle,
Looking down the road
To where I really want to be
Humming song of my motor
Piercing a silent hollow in the forest trees
Stuttering rays of sunlight and shadow
Drum my heartbeat
Thumping as my motor does
Leaning further into that turn
With a hint of fear of exhilaration
Where the scent of Vanilla Ponderosas live
Strengthened by
Raindrops on dry asphalt
I have come on my motorbike
To steal the rainbows
From your twisted curves
I am alive on my
Mountain Road
