This is a favorite of mine. Dark, symbolic, like a lot of my poetry. Very intense!
SHATTER

nitemare avenue;
dead end street...
one wrong turn-
realities meet.

serpentine ribbon,
wicked & winding...
hell-bent highways.
unfortunate timing.

ill-fated journeys;
unknown destinations:
unforeseen detours;
kismet manifestation.

illusive itinerary.
endless white lines...
secretive missions;
covert. clandestine.

remote railways-
laggard locales.
soul sucking leaches,
evil & foul.

karmic causeways;
meandering & cruel.
barriers broken:
no limits/no rules.

high road...low road.
judgment call...
no conciliations;
winner take all.

twists & turns-
white-knuckle ride...
iridium yellow warning:
oncoming crimson tide.

throttle wide-open;
engine wound...
emotional labyrinth-
spiraling down.

end of the line.
"road closed ahead"...
blink of an eye----
turn of the head.

reaction time,
merely a flash----
rush of adrenaline...
before the crash.

sudden impact!
actualities scatter...
redline overload...
