Mind Bender

Mechanism

By The Fashion Design Academy CompanyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Like a cool sip of water

From the optical illusion of a distant desert well

A patch of swirling quicksand opened up in front of me

When I caught a glimpse of you from the rear-view mirror

of my V-twin Harley at five minutes after half-past two

I couldn't help myself, you caught the corner of my eye

A double-take spin that gave a Nubian Princess meaning

to the sweetest sweeper sliding on 110ci

Like a stallion's glistening mane the wild wind swept through your hair

framing your beautiful face and striking eyes that only

Stan Lee's Archangels hands could have ever made

As you straddled your LS-218 with the pride of a lioness

It was completely obvious to me...

I wasn't going to be able to compete with the 168 inch-to-pound torque,

218 miles/hr, and 60 miles per hour in only 2 seconds or less that were

right in front of me

You definitely have my attention, that's for sure...

I've got sharing an easy ride with you on my mind

The invitation is open, so much we can see and do...

My wait could finally be over, our future together is completely up to you...

About the Creator

The Fashion Design Academy Company

See it...hear it...feel the breath of life

From its silence softly whispers

See me in your dreams and secret visions endlessly through the night

In quiet desperation I await your gentle embrace wishing and hoping you can unlock me...
