Best Roulette Poems

Aussie Roulette

50 years ago we had a sport
Of the deadly dangerous sort
Fight a Tiger snake just one
Quick as lightning in the sun

Used just once a post hole shovel
6 foot long was the handle
Running barefoot with the Tiger
Banded black n brown, a gamble?

Adrenaline ignites, terrifys!!!

ROULETTE

My twisted mind
Had everyone blind
No symptoms
Not a single sign!
 
I want to forget everything,
Living a life of no regrets,
Facing the sun
Ignoring my debts
Wiping of the cold sweat,
Taking another drink from my sweet tea set.

My life, a game of “RUSSIAN ROULETTE,”
there is no positive or negative.

As the dogs led me on our walk, I took a chance and left my raincoat behind despite the threatening clouds.  The sky turned from dappled to grey but I stayed dry, although my legs were damp from dogshake after we past the creek.

"Roulette"

unravelling the patterns woven
in the constructs of complexities

dragged out with the tide 
washed back in with the tide

the simplicity of the return 
seen scattered on the shore

collected, the rare, 
by some, 

the uwanted,
left behind

the Ocean 
takes it back again,

like tokens on a table
deal again, spin...

Russian roulette
 
Beautiful young woman danced on a stage on the border of Austin Texas,
moving like a beautiful butterfly in the breeze.
She held the attention of the men holding tightly to good whiskey and the gin.
 
A religious man sat with me drinking Jack Daniel...

It could have been me
 whose brains got blown off today.

And it could have been you
 wasted in that high-rise inferno.

But neither one of us,
 at least not yet, vaporized as gas.
 
So let us be merry, drink!
 when it comes, smile, don't blink....

Taking risks


Ride for a fall, we enjoy and relish,
Idea of taking risks in life why not cherish ?
Play with fire, have your heart in front,
Even if you expect to be burnt,

Put your head in lion's mouth,
It's time to prove you are worth,
Dare take the bear...

You played Russian Roulette with my heart, as if you was playing a game of darts.  I didn't known I would be torn  apart. Because you were played Russian Roulette with my heart right from the start.  First you love me, then...

RUSSIAN ROULETTE

Let’s amuse ourselves
playing a novel
diversion
a contested match
relatively brave
perversion

Rules are a painless
tranquil and soothing
excursion
two weapons of fun
comic tragedy
immersion

Loading of handguns
all blanks except one
insertion
metal to the head
trigger finger tight
explosion


Ingenuous
Oblivion
In
Legitimate

The wheel stops for a while
when you choose a number
or color to try your luck.
You win and you lose
and you gamble again.
Time frees you from the burden
of too much of everything.


Die Zeit ist wie ein Gluecksspiel.

Man gewinnt und man verliert.
und versucht immer wieder
das Rad zu...

At times, you are her: Marilyn, the
misunderstood and damaged goddess.
I fear you will live out her legacy.

Bone color of the moon, you are the 
haunting symphony of cicadas, 
rhythm of twilight, aroma of dusk.
You have pulled the clouds over my eyes, 
and even your lips...

Love is a fifty fifty chance
A coin toss
Either we make it
Or we don’t.

It’s a game of Russian roulette
There will be a time when one of us will get hurt
Someone will eventually be burned
With a fire that can’t be extinguished.

It’s a game of luck
And luck does...

Red, black,round and round
Odd, even, come up from down
Unusually crowded around number 9
Luck should have it,she's a favorite of mine
Ever changing the spectrums outter limit
Till zero enfolds the facet jewel within it
Theocentricly believing the fall will come
Exculpating the loss when the evening is done...
