Accident in Heaven's highway
To the garage
Devastated
From the accident
I walked in
Wires torn,
Carbonator broken,
Wheels shaken,
The beard shaven
Barren and daunted
To the garage
I walked in…..
"Fix me and get me
On the track"
To the Mechanic
I said,
"Excuse me,
This is a garage
We only
Treat for car parts
Go to the ICU
And get a transplant"
He pegged.
Thus
To the ICU
I went
Broken and shaken
Heart in tatters
Blood bleeding,
Soaked in fear
I went in
"Fix me" I said.
"How did it happen?" they asked
Thus I recalled….
And said,
"On my way
To the Milky-way
I got trapped
In her heaven’s highway,
I was a fool to
fall for her ways,
my heart collided
with hers
and split
in two ways………."
The doctor diagnosed
And responded,
"can’t help son
Can’t give a transplant,
One thing you can do
though
keep going,
Go bouncing back
To the milkyway
Keep dancing and be merry
Till you get
A Rebound” :P

A galactic blend with no serendipity but only hope for bouncing back lol.Loved this creative piece Shan.
...a cosmic rebound is what we need as the world waits for an economic rebound!...a poem of seriousness and yet light-hearted, sad yet funny....well done, Shashendra
excellent write, so unique..Maggie
I like the race car, racing accident, garage connection. We always do go searching for a rebound but it will never do....will it? You know best what you need....a Ducati! Just kidding....sort of. Find something other than a woman for a while....a man needs some time to regroup and be alone. Liked the poem!
Nice, beautifully rebounding ending...supeb imagination Shan...clever colorful write
