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
******* 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...
Inspired by William Blake "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" and my life.

I turn into comets fire
you bend avoiding glare.
I imagine craters on moon
you are aglow in beauty fair.

I seek out falling stars
through blankets weave.
You thrive in colours seen
while black holes I conceive.

I observe planet rings
dangers in rock or stone
you are penning silver ink
as fairies dance past known.

As I go orbiting to left
and you aquaplane right
we meet as one in eclipse
in moments of pure delight.

Come on peeps, do what they say!
Please slow down when driving in the rain.

Do not speed in the rain! Don't leave yourself open to aquaplane.

The car lies crumpled on the side, you are all crumpled on the inside!
Death looms at your door, all because of the Zest for more!

        More Speed, More Haste, More Accidents, More Waste!

Waste of your lives that are no more, leaving your family destroyed and bereft.
Crying tears that will never subside, dull and aching on the inside.
Without you, they are living a life of make do,  learning to live life anew, a life of pain without you!

          Wake Up, Slow Down, especially in the rain.
           Don't let yourself be a victim of an aquaplane.
Nasty accident on the road this morning, really heavy rain, road very wet and slippery. The car was a wrangled mess. Thankfully the driver had a lucky escape and had no serious injuries and no other cars involved but it was due to lost control in the weather
