Jump Start (( collaboration * SUSAN BURCH )) by~ Poet D: How did it come to this? You and me down memory bliss.. Some where in between losing my self .. I misplaced the dust remover off my shelf.. Now I will march on like a cheerful parade.. Smiling my big pearly whites, as you begin to fade... I disguised the use, when you called me a broken down car.. Adjusting all the plugs under my hood, I reached in to far... . I touched and fondled every mound and tendency inside of me.. All my heart needed, was a bran new battery.. I found my own cure, reviving my broken heart disease.. Blocking the sunburn from jumping of my heart like a trapeze.. I got rocks stored in my pocket, that came with a guarantee.. Sustaining weight on my weakened knees, reassuring me warranty ***by~ SUSAN BURCH That I will get through this, without you to drive I have a map of the world, traced on my thighs… You may have held the moon, but not anymore There are millions of galaxies for me to explore … Once I face the dark and horrible truth That I didn’t like who I was, with you… That’s why I shouldn’t be starving, for your attention When all you gave me, were paltry inventions… Instead I’ll wave bye, at my shriveled heart’s cost And immediately stop sniffing, our love’s exhaust… In time you’ll be nothing but a tumbleweed A random thought I won’t even keep… When I’m fully restored, you’ll be left in the dust And I’ll be stronger than I ever was … A Collaboration *Susan Burch ~MY COLLABORATION CONTEST~

I sure loved the automobile metaphors you began with in this one, PD. That was clever! And the way Susan tied up the whole thing was awesome! (love's exhaust, so cool). and PD, I liked your heart's longing for a brand new battery!!

"Some where in between losing my self .. misplaced the dust remover off my shelf" What a beauty is peeping out from these wonderful words my friend. The first part is beautiful and hope the second one from Susan Burch would also be wonderful. Because of some eye problem I am not regular on PS but have placed a Song of mine. Hope you would like it. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra...Poet D

Keep your engine running , Linda! Hope you and yours are well. Like the rhyme scheme here. It has been quite hot in New York and I hear from my relatives that it it has been even hotter in the Lone Star State. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
