Rumble Fish
A neon glow, a flickering sign,
Whispers of a life, a lost design.
Rusty's eyes, a restless fire,
Seeking meaning, a burning desire.
The river flows, a steady beat,
Echoing the rhythm of their street.
Brotherhood's bond, a fragile thread,
Lost in shadows, whispers of the dead.
Motorcycle roars, a rumble deep,
A restless spirit, a secret to keep.
The rumble fish, a silent plea,
For a life unlived, a destiny free.
Cherry's beauty, a fragile bloom,
Lost in a darkness, a shadowed room.
The gang's embrace, a fleeting light,
In a world of shadows, where darkness takes flight.
Will Rusty find his own true path?
In the rumble of the river, a future to grasp.
A choice to make, a destiny to claim,
In the echoes of the past, a burning flame.
