They Say It's Like Riding a Bike

description...?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


They say
'It's like riding a bike'
I think I need (don't laugh?)
A 'trike'

Add training wheels
And instructions
Where once was choice
Chose deconstruction?

Yet...
Now?
Now  I  sense vapors...
Perhaps a need to caper?

Some new... sense?
(uncertain, yet ...)
A fleeting wonder if and when...
Another chance, a glance,  a try,
...a  sigh

If...
If You...
Your arms,
Might tightly hold, make me bold
I may be able to unfold

(yet, all a dream
old nightmare gleaned
from past --that last 
despair ...
bicycle rusted, curled up
couldn't seem
 to  dare...
share?)

So far away and why, again,
to long for  ...who?
(...you?)
But how?
There's not much woman left
Not yet bereft, still...maybe blue
Wondering, always...what...
Is
True...

Still,
Got this new
Anticipated
Thrill?

more free...

Holding
The
Handlebars,
Seeking
Behind the stars
Of
Your eyes

Spirit-
Wise
And
Lyrical sighs

Oh, brother
Oh, mother, oh!
Oh
Oh
Lover...

Come
To teach me
Once more
How to ...how to...ride?

(stay close beside?)

Then, how to feel
What a kiss can mean

If
You can just
Lean
A little closer

Maybe
A blush
Again
Will
Rise
Within

And we
Can
Ride

(If your wheels
Are steady, sure and ready)

You would...
We could
Take that long ago road

Down
By
The
Shore

Will
You also
Say
As
"They"...
'It's like riding a bike' ?

(I want no trike...)

Teach the wind, again to blow
Throuh my hair
Flow in the wind
Going along
With a
New song
Yours...

Maybe the music will
Bring back the whole score

I need to feel again...

I don't know what to say
Or do...lead the way, perhaps...will you?

I
will fly with arms
And legs around
True

And
Lover...    Lover?

Does it matter
I am
Again
So

New?

I don't think I've ever learned how to "ride" properly in this life, Micha. Thought-provoking verses. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and peace to you,

Regis
