Short Joyride Poems

A joyride for two
Chasing sunset for two wheels
For late lovers bloom....

wind clings to loose leaf 
clutching it tightly for ride

Joyride requires both descent and ascent ~
Grant then life-dance, played in space-time, consent...

Wild and dangerous ...

        The 'pump' is spontaneous -

                Coming down's ... vicious....

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
on this
JOYRIDE...

negating our solidity
we wish to vaporise
wherefrom comes the pull
that propels us to feel full
what a joyride
with God inside
as silence layers silence
in a rapture continuum

Slur in time move side to side 
deter all hesitation;  
Transfer of lively hormones, 
pure magic set in motion;

Buy one more heighten the buzz,  
high on what it’s feeding me;
My mind is on a joyride, 
I wonder if you can see....

In love and hate
You are the one I care
Can’t stop the pain
You are the one so dear

In rain and shine
Come war or high water
I will want you
Forever and ever

In shame and pride
I feel I need you near
In life’s joyride
I want you as my pair...

High High High
Up in the sky
Fly Fly Fly
I want to fly.

Up in the sky
On my joyride
I want to fly
Go far and wide

On my joyride
Soar Soar Soar
Go far and wide
On wings of glee.

Soar Soar Soar
Merry spirit
On wings of glee
Free Free Free.

Merry spirit!
Fly Fly Fly
Free Free Free
High High High....

Pay the Piper, 
he has come to collect.
Empty your pockets, 
eliminate your debt.

The joyride is over,
it came with a price.
The Piper knows the amount, 
he is  extremely precise.

Revenge has many forms,
it has finally come to interrupt.
Today it takes the shape of the Piper, 
time to pay up....

a change
     of atmosphere
enforced..
          perhaps
but premature:
a matter
    of consequence
disturbing
the natural
        order,
a nod
    of recognition
     to the 
              past,
a joyride
            beyond
the
instinctive
an
    appetite
for the
     modest and
simple life...

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

Within

here i am
just me
no mirror to look in
no colors or dyes to change me
here i am
just 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 debt to sideline us
here we go
just us...

Time walks away
Curbs time to play


Curious cheer laughs
More than enough


Mad crazy strides
A last joyride


Ooze of strong booze
Grooms sleepy snooze


Dreams of lost lust
From dust to dust


Urge of deep soul
A falling told


Stupor now dumps
A groggy lump

Like a Thrilling Joyride

by Bonnie and Clyde

 The Playoffs are Do or Die

How High Can You Fly

Way Up in the Sky then CrashDive,

One Minute your Kickin' Dem to the Curb 

The Next, You love 'Em as You Love Your Wife

 One Moment In Time

 Let It Be Mine

 then We can Dine with Fine Wine 

and Remember Havin' The Times Of Our Lives....

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

(8.18.21)



PS - Jueju form is not described accurately in poetry soup's definition. Look up Suzette Richard's poem "Dawn Song" for a far better explanation of this form....

J-ust pray to the Almighty, 
E-xpress what's deep inside; 
A-sk Him to keep you happy, as you enjoy the joyride.

S-eek the kingdom of God
U-ntil you gain salvation; 
A-t dawn twenty-seventh October, 
R-emain firm in conviction.
E-arnestly find the door of the sheepfold or flock; 
Z-ealously do these things, just ask, seek, and knock....

You reach for me at night and bring me near,
I am the one in life you hold most dear.
You never tire of me each day,
Nothing can keep your hands away!

Loyal to the end, I'll be by your side,
We're in this together on this joyride.
So who am I that formed a bond like you have never known?
I'm your best friend, your confidant...your cell phone!...

my heart breaks
the scissors cut deep in the fairytale
i saw you go down
nothing is the same

my heart cries
the knife in the joyride left behind so much blood
i saw you beg for mercy
nothing is the same

my heart dies
the gun with the illegal bullets branded a permanent mark
i saw you take your last breath slowly and painfully
it will never be the same...

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 
since the Sun has shone so late; 
My skin is crawling, it's alive
Its time for Spring's first joyride....

Mad is the man
Who schemes and scams


Desire now plots
True empty lots


Be shrewd and kind
Find peace of mind


Do not delay
Walk middle way


Ego and pride
Fatal joyride


Poise follows choice
Utter firm voice


All in due time
See the end rhyme


Prepare your grace
To greet each face


Such is the way
Survive and play

Moonlit night just turns me on
Give me joy more than a ton
Stare at my eyes see inside
Let’s ride on dream for joyride
Hold me in your tender arms
Let me enjoy love’s all charms
Kiss me with your cherry lips
Make busy my idle hips
Drink me baby like a juice
Make my body shine in use
Lick me like a happy dog
Paint my feelings like Van Gogh
Unite our body and mind
Come on baby please be kind...

Dazzle the fickle
Fancy moves sickle


Deeper than dazzle
Crafty hurls ample


Meddle with funny
Folly shines clumsy


Telling taut crazy
Mindful hides simply


Profound can amaze
Distance fires ablaze


Nonsense puns sexy
Empty floods easy


Sensuous smiles silly
Glitter signs glitzy


Joyride now consorts
Frolic spills report
