Rufi In My Wine

I tremble with thoughts of what might have been I let an opportunist within my circle of trust his charms and guises Slipping a rufi in my wine and too naïve to question my sudden lapse of memory I tremble with thoughts of what might have been I was like putty in his hands it happened so easily I was so naïve I feel shocked and vulnerable I feel the miracle of being here and being me My destiny was in the hands of someone who could not be trusted my luck hanging on a string AP: 1st place 2020 Posted on March 3, 2019

Scary poem > I was slipped a Micky in a bar one time and woke up the next day with no memory of the night before. From a friend I thought I could trust. It was some kind of sick joke. One of the guys he did it too broke his leg very seriously and never recovered completely.

OMG Timothy. We are more vulnerable than we know against the likes of people who range from practical jokers to psychopathic killers - the more charming they are the more dangerous. Thank God when luck is on our side...

I hope this is not based on reality. This was a clever way of discussing that theme. Love the title!

Long time ago. Lived to tell the tale. Not so many are that lucky. And not that it's a tale I want to tell.

WoW! Yes it is so dangerous to trust someone you don't really know. Hopefully we learn from our mistakes so it doesn't happen again. Great write. God Bless, JB

Very frightening how vulnerable we really are.

"my luck hanging by a string" - yes, this does happen, and more often than I ever realized. I think we naive ones are trustworthy, and thus, do not think to distrust others. Great one, my friend. It may help someone on their road to healing.
