lost and found

i wrote this in 2002,while i was recuperating from a knee operation,i was distraught.i thought i would never get to skate again.

i was eating dinner in the kitchena moment ago and the thought of making this ink and paper entity live forever came into my head.so here it is,it's life extended by many years.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have lived just to ride on you,
you are like air to me ,essential,
yet you're artificial.
Joy,laughter and tears,
these are some of the harvest.

i gave up worldy things for you.
In return i was made a king.
A kingdom, of ledges and curbs.
Those jagged and ridged edges are emblems of my reign
Euphoria...
I hone in supremacy!
As dark knights come , like cowards other kings and i ran.
But in another time, another world, we know we dominate.

A moment ago,you are my everything.
Now , are you something?
You gave me nothing but broken bones and a broken heart.

Like drugs, i'm onto you.
And like fire ,you burnt me bad.
