Best Dangers Poems

You wanted a "good time"
That's what you got
You thought I was easy
That I am not

But later on
I'll see you in hell
Because that's surely where
We'll dwell

Look, sex is a crazy business
You shouldn't have got involved
Now where has it got you?
Your body is dissolved

You weak man
Arrogance and...

A seventy year old couple on a romantic date,
Were at a bistro eating seafood crepe,
Feeling so good, a kiss they sought,
Locking mouths their false teeth got caught,
And both sets fell onto the plate....

Holiday Dangers
                    by Odin Roark

‘Tis greater to give than receive,
Begging the question: “Of what?”

Stuff remains the easy answer,
Cloaked in its brightly colored paper and ribbons,
Urging “Oohs...

Abandoned in the desert by robbers
Bruised and bleeding
Tied on hands and feet
It was dark, cold and I was shaking
The dawn of tomorrow
will it rise?
Please tell me
A bad dream,
close-up of red eyes
Like a snake moving without limbs
I followed a path, 
but suddenly it disappeared
and I lost...

The lives of others I can not but steal.
Their thoughts, their dreams, their loves, are all in books inscribed,
Ripe for the taking.  Their minds fit mine like new skins.
It does not hurt them:  book folk are not real,
And I need their worlds, for...

If any parents were to check a facebook account of any teenager... 
It  stretches their imaginations to see friends from the world over...
Some friends claimed to be some famous idols, 
Some even have pictures of popular people...

How can a teenaged kid to know that...

Sadly, we may suffer a delusion
Understanding not the thing we conceive,
While functioning under the illusion
Everything is truly as we believe.
Perceptive minds do not always perceive
That often-told lies are still lies, indeed,
Truth is always borne on factual need
Easily recognized as veritas --
Virtuous, of good character, good...

She wandered slowly through the woods,
Admiring bluebells, ferns and trees;
The sound of birdsong in her ears,
Accompanied by buzzing bees.

She sat beside a little stream
And watched the fishes swimming by,
The water tasted fresh and cool -
Such beauty made her want to cry.

But pungent garlic plants around
And...

Stabbing broken hearts...

When poets get bored you should worry.
They may try to stir up some "fun".
I think it's the kick of excitement
they get when they see what they've done.

If it seems like it may be too quiet
they'll want to get feathers to fly.
Sometimes it is fun just...

Here is the secret monologue of many:

"I am loyal, a servant most true!
That is until...I am not paid in full,
Then I turn to tattle, and to trash
Your trust with treason, high and foul!
As dreaded foes tread freely upon you,
I will make merry in your misery!"

"You...

Beneath this broken piece of sod
Lies one who thought that he was God
Who drank too much
And drove, and such,
A man whose thinking was quite flawed.

Some ships  founder on the rocks.
Such sad things come to pass.
Relationships! They founder too,
if not upon a rocky shore,
then in a whiskey glass....

It takes life long 
To study the world
Or its people
Because it's complex
Always in a state of confusion and chaos
Anything can happen
Rumours can be turned into truths 
Truths can be turned into fallacies
So
Look before you leap
Think thrice before you act
Consequences and dangers can spoil and kill
Truths...
