riding my way into the unknown...

.
.
the night came closer...
mortals returning back home
but we waited with anticipation
the dark kingdom threatened to engulf the world
and i wasn't the saviour

my sole companion roared and revved
as we tread onto the path into the unknown
the deathly silence around us greeted its crazy guests
not a single soul was in sight
the highway lit by my companion's lights

the chilly wind tore into my clothes
but i didn't feel it
the heat within was too strong
perhaps the wind just saved me
from getting burnt by my own heat...

the monotonous roar of the engine,
the lonely speck of light on the highway,
marked my territory
and it kept moving on...

i wasn't thinking
i wasn't feeling
maybe i was alive...but death wasnt far behind

all i could hear was the angry roar of the engines
all i could smell was the burning of the tarmac
all i could feel was the wind ripping through me

i died that night...
the lucifer* revealed to the world
what was left of me
what was left of my companion

it too died with me that night
it wasn't my way of transportation that night
it was my soulmate
it was my way of living...
