When neon calls

Image
   The roar of the engine, as if it´s a wild African animal, roaring in the blazing heat of the sun. That roar,it brings me to life. It gives me life. It helps me forget. With one swift movement,this single moment. I am off,we are off. Away from them,away from it all,away from what we are and what defines us. We are no more,we are nothing. We are on the road.We are at it´s mercy,the mercy of the beast we ride and the wonders we will find.     The sound of the wind is whistling all around. The speed,you can feel it in the air,it´s electric,sharp and intoxicating. It´s calling me,calling us.Don´t stop,keep going,faster,further. We don´t stop,we listen,we submit and keep going. No turning back. Nothing ahead of us but road. It never ends and I don´t want it to.Just us,this car,right here and now.In motion and still in time,right here in this moment. Bright colours dance in the wind,sway with the speed and play with us,tease and call. They play all around us and ...

Drifter,For now,I drive,I drive,Forgive me Father -“Super-mega-hyper punch!Pooooow!” -“Derek!It’s time..get in the car already.” -“Cmon Lucky.It’s time for a new trip.”    Ah!The memories. Those were the times. On the road with dad.Exploring,going where the road takes us. Just us boys.Dad,me and Lucky. That dog loved a good road trip. The memories.Father,if only you could see me now. It’s like nothing has changed. All that’s missing,is you.    I got my car here. She has seen some mileage and has a couple of issues but she is still going strong.I don’t even know what would I do without this baby.She might be old but oh, she purrs like a kitten. I never got that car you promised me year after year, but it’s in the past. I would give everything away, just to bring those summer’s back.The innocence of a childhood and the love of a parent.At that point I could not even imagine the mess I would leave behind me. I got my new pup here as well. Lucky was a wi...

Happy Birthday

   Deep breath,Deep breath. Can´t,not enough air. Is this it?Breathing,breathing. Better. That was close. How much more can I take?How much more will it take before I do take the last breath.Got to keep running.No turning back. The things I have done and things I have seen. If I won´t be caught,I will be killed and if none of those, well,I might have to kill,again.I guess they wouldn´t want me to have all the fun now,would they?Cops were never much for fun.    Lucky me,my birthday,what a day. Mother always made sure I had the best time. Well mother,I am having the time of my fucking life. If only you could see,I guess you might be watching,from up there, but who knows. I am not religious, but I want to think you there. Lots of people just dying to see me and I can´t get far enough. So much noise,so much talk about me. You would be proud. So proud dear mother.I always make sure I never let you down, but I know, you know,you see and I know you would be so proud. I k...
