Biker Poet Wisdom

Biker Style
by
the IronHorse Rider
12/21/03

In LifeCertain things are black n white

No room for compromise
Straddlin’ thunder, feels good down under
Nirvana for the thighs

You see

There exists no sure fire methods
Grand schemes may take awhile
So, take a hint, a leather blueprint
Do it ‘Biker Style’

Dance abreast a well endowed chest

Accept all it may entail
Gettin’ slapped, feelin’ trapped
Knowing when to bail
Take your time, make it rhyme
Leave ‘em with a smile
Better to be, a fond memory
All due to ‘Biker Style’

One must

Always be the gentleman
Stopping short of being en vogue
Enjoy the dance of circumstance
Ladies prefer a rogue

Take not

Unless freely given
Be grateful for having the chance
In life, to succeed, one must take the lead
Be willing to try, the dance

And thus

Dance abreast a well endowed chest
Accept all it may entail
Gettin’ slapped, feelin’ trapped
Knowing when to bai
lTake your time, make it rhyme
Leave ‘em with a smile
Better to be, a fond memory
All due to ‘Biker Style’

Wrinkles and Roads

Wrinkles and Roads

I've faced my demons, more than once
Spit against the wind
Walked on water, so I thought
Ventured into sin

Moved the Earth, a time or two
Ate my share of dirt
Spurned the gift of life itself
Death whispered its flirt

Wrinkles travel upon my face
As lines from a weathered map
Roads destined to end at fate
Time, the eternal trap

Wisdom sprouts from failed seeds
Lessons to be learned
Still waters, run deeper still
When bridges have been burned

I'm not one to dwell upon
Choices left behind
I choose to see what lies ahead
For hindsight can be blind

Wrinkles travel upon my face
Reflecting roads of past
I pray to ever taste the wind
The roads, to ever last

Biker 101

Biker 101
What is a Biker?
Is it someone who's clearly defined?,
or a perception, merely a state of mind?
Who is a Biker?
One portrayed in movies, through hype?,
or entrapped within a stereotype?
When is a Biker?
24/7 from head to boot?,
or the weekend warrior, who sheds his suit?
Why is a Biker?
Fulfilling a preordained legacy?,
or simply indulging fantasy?
Where is a Biker?
As for me, it couldn't be clearer,
all I need do is look in the mirror.

Left or Right
By Wild Bill © 2005 all rights reserved

Simple sounds this day of spring
Cold steel turning warm
Rhythm sets my mind to roam
Direction starts to form

With not a thought my foot descends
A click and kick is felt
Hand relaxed, gears engage
Power takes the belt

Motion starts in a roll
Butterflies descend
Colors bright, shoulders tight
Feeling starts to blend

Left or right is on the mind
Decision is defaulted
A cage is rushing up on me
All the motion halted

Familiar turns are easy
Follow an older trail
Dare I take another track
Where shadows are not stale

Left or right is in the air
Heads or tails the gamble
Fate then takes its proper place
And down the road I amble.

American Novelist Wisdom

"And I to my motorcycle
Parked like the soul of the junkyard
Restored, a bicycle fleshed
With power, and tore off
Up Highway 106 continually
Drunk on the wind in my mouth
Wringing the handlebar for speed
Wild to be wreckage forever." -
James Dickey
