The open road may not call out to every heart, but when it does and goes unanswered, those souls who dare stay inside where it's safe and warm, could live to regret it. Turning a deaf ear to your muse can cause worse pain than cheating on your wife, abandoning your children or flipping your bike on a hot summer night and slamming into California concrete at 40 mph. In Lines on the Road - Diary of a Motorcycle Poet, the author follows his heart along the road of love for a few miles - and then some. One thing he discovers is that you must understand your past and learn from it, before you can ever move forward to reach your destination. Through miles of pain, sweeping vistas and moments that take your breath away, his heart makes the journey to hell and back, and keeps track of time in rhyme with a few lines on the road that whispered to him, night and day. Care to climb aboard and hear what this traveling bard has to say? You'll enjoy many poems and pieces of prose that capture the solitary self-reflecting moments of a wandering heart like shimmering moonlight on a midnight pool of tranquil water. Read the rhythms of the open road in verse, feeling the writer's beating heart as though you were riding with him along the road of love a mile. You'll soon be able to listen to the author read his own work in a special .mp3 audio book, ready for your iPod or home stereo system. From romance - reciprocated or unrequited - to his eastern philosophical leanings and a humorous approach to spirituality, Scott will keep the bike upright, no matter how bumpy the backroads may become. And isn't becoming the reason we started this journey? A chuckle here, a tear there or a different perspective to ponder just might smack you in the head like heaven-sent hail, during an Arizona August monsoon, as you discover new vistas, reach distant horizons and find a few subtle meanings hidden between the Lines on the Road. As his good friend Screamer would say: "Never outrun your light, wear protection and keep the rubber side down." And with a name like Screamer, those words of wisdom sound like they come from personal experience, which is always the best teacher, if you survive the lesson.
