ridden at high speeds

Clumsy clunker
  Sunk in neurotic funk
  Lord of the manor of cliché-ridden junk...

Dazzling rainbows in a cloud ridden mind
The elusive spectrum of varying wavelengths
Appearing after a sunny drizzle of happy episodes...

Your pain
Will not
Justify 
The 
Deseased ridden
Whole
That lies 
To 
The empty
Cold
Fear
Resting
On
The 
Putric
Disguise
Of 
Your 
Grace....

There once was a man with the flu
Shaking hands saying "How do you do?"
When next did we meet
My reply to his greet
Was a germ-ridden, spitting "Achoooo!!"...

Getting forbidden love
That deads come 
Leaving the heaven.
Do you know
How much love got
Ridden by being hidden,
They live as dew drops
In the morning on the grass?...

We thought his rocking horse would only be ridden in the house….
but it was imagination that we lacked….
for he road to castles,
over rivers, 
through the trees…
then to the stars and back....

Bold like the break of dawn 
Bikes are ridden all morn
Boogers and dirt adorn
Baseball all afternoon
Bonding under the moon
Beauty, transfixed they swoon
Boy, don’t grow up too soon

Voyages

In our voyages 
Since infancy                                
We have ridden 
many currents..
To Recognize..at last
All of of these currents
Seem to hide
Who we have been 
All along......

Oden
Old God of man
Rust ridden cob web stricken
Crumble into shatter into
Stale, old and brittle
Lethal combination of decay
Like all of Man’s ideals
Our morals, Man, will

There once was a lass from Toronto
Loved being ridden like a bucking bronco
Enjoyed a rough ride
“Ride 'em cowboy” she cried
Till her senses they became totally blotto

magical evening
 a caged old dormant dog drools
  ridden in rabies 
~
poor sick little  dog
 he's hurt and he needs some love
   vaccine cures him some

Was told my dog Rover chased someone on a bike
Can't be true, he hasn't ridden a bike since he was a tike
People causing trouble
Makes em unloveable
Did you ever think it could be a Rover lookalike...

Dormant torment fighting
Closed eyes, hidden rage 
Sleep to lose 

Fear-ridden
Tired apologies
Begging truth

Where is it? 
Love is fleeting ice
Melting tears 

Solidify
To find the sure ground–   
Awaken...

How many waves of ephimeral life has my soul ridden throughout space and time

unknown to me is and so it will remain for it is of all verities the most sublime!

I have seen people just about starting,
There’re others at the end of the rope
crisis ridden and with anguish smarting
and latched onto a diminishing hope
With sorrow no longer able to cope.

The places I’ve travelled,
  yet haven’t seen

The roads I’ve ridden,
  while caught in-between

The mileage piled up,
  memory lay stacked

Voices call distant,
  —my mind to go back

A reckless young pirate named Greg
Drank whisky straight out of a keg.
He cried 'Look at me!'
In shark-ridden sea;
That drink cost an arm and a leg!

no boundaries, no limits. 
i am free to let my mind wonder,
i ponder many thoughts that flush my mind.
i find myself, and realize that in this state of mind
i am ridden of negative thoughts
and discovered a constant state of creativity....

Limerick : Once a scandal-ridden Monarchy

Once a scandal-ridden Monarchy
Took to breeding with Tom Dick & Harry
The last Prince with scant blue
Donned the saffron robe true
Thus Millésime House lost lineage Tree.

In time, shall I find peace of mind?
Settled in me, shall be the currents of mine life.
Will I have successfully ridden the wave of my life fulfilled?
The unending question of which I shall know only then.
Then, shall I have peace of mind?...
