what a ride!

Rebel-Kartel

My mind wounders
lost in a world full
of thoughts and metaphors

sometime taking me to
places i can't defind but
i just sit back and enjoy
the ride

entertained and amazed
at the way my mind inturpet
and disect everything

what a ride...

fogglethorpe

...what a ride, life;
the object is
not to hit a pole.

Photogeek_Kartel

Not to hit a pole
maybe its unavoidable
better wear a seat belt

Rebel-Kartel

better wear a seatbelt
yes, this ride out of
control, but i am in
control of the uncontrollable

jubabeast

Control of the uncontrollable?
They said it couldn't be done!
But I put on a belt,
a fine vest of felt,
and blasted it dead with a gun.

angeroseblue

And blasted it with a gun
i did what i had to do
the uncontrollable needed controlling
you would have done the same thing too

jubabeast

You would have done the same thing too,
if you had of been put in my place,
life pretends to give you a choice
then it slaps you hard in the face.

Because, when you pick yourself up,
where you are is where you will be.
You'll probably kick at the bricks,
but you may as well offer them tea.

aphroditespen

...but you may as well offer them tea and a seat
They ain't going nowhere
and at DEAD END you'll meet
an opportune time
to pull out a rhyme
to cajole those old bricks
and slick 'em with tricks

angeroseblue

and slick em' with tricks
until being victimized is wanted
and the truth is rejected

put the real heroes behind bars
and killers on the streets
oh... to be one of the selected

induce

oh... to be one of the selected
rhymes infected with a juice
for a bOOst!

oh... pick it up
some beats per minute
not 80 prooF

wheel down the window
pop a sign
maxin' out let it define
there's no rules of house

on the rewind

angeroseblue

on the rewind
all things are said and done
the intimacy you find
is actually in fun

Holding head down in shame
Kiss away your thoughts
not knowing the name
of the feelings that are fought

aphroditespen

Of the feelings that are fought
a few names seem apropos
call it Lust
call it Want
Off-the-chain
Slow down now , WHOA

induce

Slow down now, WHOA
the bounty is fierce
What do you say?
Ride with me well...most of the waY!

angeroseblue

Ride with me well....most of the way
the reward is mine to receive
so thanks for your company
your intellect i had to deceive

induce

your intellect i had to decieve
positioned:
layered by decreed
a decoy
when in need:
at a fascinating speed!

aphroditespen

At a fascinating speed
Is this what I signed up for?
You've deceived me,
but believe me
I think I'm want more

NoGoody

I think I'll want more,
of that redline ride.
9500 rpms,
full throttle inside.
Once top speed is reached,
inject the bottle and fly.

induce

inject the bottle and fly!
to the moon
no reason why;

conversion
transmission

~intermission~

Whom landed first?
Was this rehearsed or reversed?

aphroditespen

Was this rehearsed or reversed?
Questions superfluous
Answers terse
Where was this ship going?
(My anxiety's showing)

So we jetted to space
As if in a race
And now that we're here
What next now, my dears?

angeroseblue

Searching for strange creatures
in the vast open lands
heat so deadly hot
eating up the greenest sands

an animal of different sorts
appears in the mist
talking in his native tongue
holding out a list

Deleted_User_5058

holding out a list
of people I've kissed
wondering where they all went
if kisses are worth a cent

angeroseblue

if kisses are worth a cent
maybe they should be less
probing at my lips
looking through a mess

induce

looking through a mess
curser less
vagrant vilian vespiary
hinging on the ride
you sea
multitasking glee

aphroditespen

multtasking glee indeed
hungry eyes with need to feed
no passive lips
but lips with quips
...and oh, that 'list'
now here's the gist...

angeroseblue

now here's the gist...
within the mist of that list
came a quite interesting twist

all the names of every man on the land
were brought to me on this strange sand
their fates now in my hands
