A Highway to Hell - Remember this Music? - September 16, 2014

We have a new challenge at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai - "Carpe Diem's Remember This Music?" :

Here's the explanation given by Chèvrefeuille:

The goal is to write a four (4) stanza renga inspired on the song you have chosen yourself. You don't need to use this song I shared ... you can take your own song which brings sweet (or sad) memories to you to write that four stanza renga .... So I have to change my haiku above into a four stanza renga ... let me try ...

the last waltz -

I saw her again after a while

my first love

her blond hair waves in the wind

looks like golden sunlight

in the first daylight

as I awake next to her

she looks so beautiful

"take this waltz", she whispers in my ear

and cuddles her naked body to mine

I learnt to drive rather late in life ... in fact I got my license only 6 years ago.  I was always very nervous and panicy when I had to do the practicle driving lessons ... theory was never a problem. One of my instructors, a particularly sensitive person named Ricky, decided that if we put some music on I'd probably relax ... I thought he was right and I expected something dreamy, but this is one of the pieces that he put on (infact from then on we only used rock music to drive with) ... and I rocked through the lessons without a bit of anxiety.   So my song doesn't bring sweet or sad memories but a feeling of happiness thanks to having overcome a difficult challenge and anxiety.

anxiety grows
on every curve of the road
gears slip - car stalls

heart pounding - head spinning
stuck on a tight curve to hell

beat of the music
come - face this challenge - head on
song of courage

that highway to hell becomes
a rock road through paradise
