Best Joyride Poems

“Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom,
and a little flower”.
– Hans Christian Andersen

A little flower in the garden
not very large, or tall, or bright.
For this, she seeks pardon.
God graces her with His light.

His sun shining in the skies
attracts the little flower’s head
and...

When the Joyride Stopped


Water in the mid stream was cool,
The scene was nice and refreshing,
Even our horses stopped to enjoy,

A joyride 
Like that of a high speed rail
We may take our partners
Our small children 
Or our old parents
For a joyride
Looking around
Scenery and nature
People and crowd
Shops and houses
Cars and buses
Highways and lanes
All are eye-catching
After a long time confining to 
Walls and beds
While people are still...

Oh that wind in your hair
As your foot hits the pedal,
New music just in time 
to give the season a new rhythm; 

Sunglasses 'cause the Sun's shining
so bright you can't see;
An empty road in front of you
endless opportunities ahead;

It feels as if its been forever...

A body of chipped paint and red rust,
A weathered windshield under the dust 

Steering wheel aims in one last turn,
Dashboard suffers from many a sunburn 

Her cracked mirrors are still adjusted,
Her upholstery is worn out and busted 

Seats tilted since the last time driven,
Still positioned...

here i am
just me
no mirror to look in
no colors or dyes to change me

there you are
just you
no mirror to look in
no makeup or synthetic products to change you
there you are 
just you

here we go 
just us
no budget to worry about
no bills or...

We always go out driving... that's what we love to do.
We'll all pile in and go, the kids and me and you.

We look at fancy houses and dream of 'One day we'll...'
We like to count the cows seen grazing on the hill. 

Rolling down the...

we took a spin
we all had a grim
we were friends
had the same blend
and taste
but of other race
and face
on road was our gold
we got load
went side by  side

Cupid's Joyride

Emitting star, meteor, act alike,
Some piece gleams a sky, oust our atmosphere,
Bow bends, arrow aims our sky ere a strike,

Cupids arrow tips when pierced are dreamlike,
Heirs beguiled senseless on a plains calm mere,
Emitting star, meteor, act alike,

Evolve cherub charioteer, fine tyke,
The cosmos hooves gallop...

Jade plants, carved rocks, herbal greens
Leaves grown, earthen kitchen’s sheen
Sliced peach sunsets splash laughter
White plates glow pink where friends glean

I once floated towards the rising Sun,
Oh man, it was so much fun,
How did I ever think it couldn’t be done?

Even though for moments like that I always yearned,
I grew a little concerned,
As I didn’t want to get ‘sunburned’.


But it was such a smooth, joyful...

Stretch & yawn
And move on
Moment to moment 
Rising bliss quotient
As a standing wave
We look on in awe
The current teasing
Ecstasy peaking
As the joy pendulum 
Root to sensorium 
Sushumna ignited
Has us delighted
Dance of celebration 
Of joyous elation
Continues
Renews

Cheer knows the way
To light each day


Style your sure flair
With joy you air


Live that grand run
Sheer happy fun


Seize time to feel
Do what you will


Prize love and light
Watch soul move sight


Frame poise of choice
Touch mellows voice


Dare word your way
Love fashions play


When all is said
Each debt is...
