Roller Coaster

by Kristina Harris - Aries

Life used to rock me
like a baby carriage,
sweet scents of lilac
and vaporub, 
surrounded me in a blanket
of love and endearing
softness...seemingly
everlasting

Life, now drags me along
like a lost puppy dog, 
I follow.
Rough hands dig into
my arm and I am 
whisked away into 
a land of swirling
mystery and pleasures
unknown.

We slide down side streets,
and speed on open highways
and swim through icy lakes.
Like a malfunctioned roller coaster...
We fly.
I never want to stop.
