Precarious LoveI glanced to my left and I saw your face. You were a fading memory my brain could not erase. I thought I saw you once before, standing over by the door. It was a precarious love burning a hole in my heart, a heated...

Precarious LivesPublic Figures live a life that is filled with angst
and paranoia, always wondering where
their enemies are, so they experience ambivalence
when venturing far,
Naysayers often crawl out from the woodworks,
taunting and acting like jerks,
The perks they get from notoriety is pale in
comparison to the anxiety overzealous people...

Dramatic Monologue
Betwixt Straddle and Poised PrecariousStraddling is safe with grips each side secure,
but progress requires the flip flop position,
secured on one side or the other, not looking down or back.
It’s iffy to lift a foot implanted
with footholds...

Under a Precarious Moon
and here we are
in our castle built from cards
one gust of wind and we go
down down down
grand illusions
mere delusions
curiosity getting the best of us
in spite of red flags waved
in the heat of the moment
warning signs cast aside
caution thrown to the wind

391 Dreams, Precarious In the NightDreams, precarious in the night
Flashbacks of never a time
And the memory breaths,
A touch to liquefy bone
As fear takes residence within the mind
Pleasantry is frightened by the night
The darkness penetrates the iris
Blinding only the eyes
While the mind dissipates from reason
The wakening within the dream
Mutes even the...

Precarious MiracleFor all that it is worth was contained in a single droplet of thought
in symbiotic deliverance
shall pass perhaps unnoticed by a billion suns
or find it’s way in chaotic course
discover the enchanted spells of Icarus
And in form so complex present itself
Centuries coalesce into a single moment...

Precarious Playing Her StradivariusPrecarious Playing Her Stradivarius
She is in a position which was precarious
While fiddling on her fine Stradivarius
Marvelous sounds from it would emulate
To hear her again have hated to hesitate.
Crossed a bridge running over a creek
Much more magic music started to seek
Ascended high hills and through...

My Precarious "life"If I left you this moment
there may be a chance
Monday morning would greet me
with nary a glance
but such is not my nature if
there exists the possibility of
pushing the limits of the limited
testing the finite calculated ability of . . .

So there she goes again
flying...

Perfect excuse;
Be born to lose,
With erotic tactics he did employ.

Trump Put Us In Precarious PositionTrump Put Us in Precarious Position
Trump placed us in positions that are various;
Some had appeared as if they are precarious;
In does chorus,
I am notorious,
For songs and dances having been hilarious.

Covid VaccineCausative agent of disease
One of several variants to appease
Void of any discriminating abstractions
Interaction breeds human contagion
Distress inflamed in us by slow vaccination
Vaccine does diminish Covid effects
Antigen activity does reject
Chills that instill fear among us
Coughs that grip lungs, with expulsion dubious
Immunizations, please make haste
Never ending cautions...

Acrostic
Uncertain FateI find myself in quite a precarious state.
Uncertain as to why I was so quick to acquiesce.
My heart flutters with excitement.
My body trembles inside with fear.
The thoughts race through my minds eye,
like an out of order stampede.
That of enlightened speech.
It is an unique...
