Why Hello, I am Danger
I am a stiletto in the shadows, ready to slit your throat
Should you gloat about laws I broke
I am precariousness in a dress
Peril, hazard, and risk, I'm menace sitting on a fence
I will take you places you've never been
I'll tell you lies and make you believe in sin again.
I will make you comfortable
And then you shall fall ill
A demons day in madness kissed - still
Danger is my poison, Danger is my pill
Taunting you, haunting you
Daring you to take that terrifying step
Take a chance, hold your breath
If no one's looking - spin the wheel - make the deal
Mistress Death will tell you - kill to win - heh he heh
You guessed it Dangerous.
Riskiness and distress are best friends - a hot mess
With endangerment, there is entanglement
Both factors are a possible part of the experience
Mordacity, depravity, and the unsavory
All of these odious and delicious - found in the essence of Danger
Dubious unrest, a fear fest test, a chaotic crest
A mischance of a tense whisper portrayed as a treasonous event
Hellbound or heaven-sent
Just remember - it's me Danger
And I am Dangerous
And you fearless - Your soul yearns for me....

TAMING THE TRAUMA
a leitmotif
forever
a delicate moment
buffeted &vulnerable
a microcosm
of sentiment
unsubtle
reinforced
complications
of the
romantic relationship
which
elicits an
emotional
response
broken fragments
devastation
suspended
&
carefully
reassembled
in shadows
on the wall
precariousness
a crucial
component
feels
resonant
again
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Mass confusion like contusions
and extreme precariousness.
The subconscious submission
of the consciousness.
Like sheep to the slaughter,
bring along your lamb.
Believe in their words,
but do not understand.
The diamonds in their eyes
and the blood on your hands.
We are the crooked pillars
on which they stand.
The cogs in the clock.
A falling grain of sand.
For their perfectly timed
executing master plan.
Get rich or die trying.
We will do the latter.
Live fast and die young
while their pockets get fatter,
but we still buy into
what they have fed.
Not food for thought.
Get brainwashed
or brain dead.
The war is at your door.
Blood is being shed.
We think we’re doing nothing,
but we’re doing what they said.
Like a bullet in the brain
and living with the lead.
The military industry is
inside your head.

For 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
the precariousness of miracles
only await for recognitions nascence
what other supplicants breath so endeavors
in exultation of a universe
And in form so beauteous reveal itself
It is but a living thing
so of molded intricacies ever described in geometries
to distinguish the passages of galaxies
the potential heartbeats of a billion witnesses
stand upon the precipice a precarious miracle it is
And in form so singular only perfection could have created it
For all that it is worth was contained in a single droplet of thought

From Mastadonian timelessness
Thru Neolithic mankindliness
Past icy agey instances
Cave-ember dream sequences
Animal carcass sustenances
Tribal ritual religiousness
Guttural language utterances
Savage native dominances
Eking marginal existences
Toward era-ending extinguishes
To Nomadic brutal homelessness
Under cracking cultural bridginess
Under societal forgetfulness
Under Military expansiveness
Governmental negligences
A congenital hopelessness
Constitutional vagariousness
Evolutionary pervasiveness
Solitary survivalness
That’s my piece of boniness
My tent reeks of holiness
On the edge of precariousness...

Last night I saw you standing there
In front of a classroom blackboard
With a piece of chalk in hand
Writing something about Thoreau again
Or was it Emerson or Whitman?
You were telling us or rather me
About the fragility and precariousness
Of this life we lead
While gazing upon you
As that wise owl of ancient wisdom
In this mystical memory dream.
Another fading, fleeting, fast retreating
Neuron - electron flow inside my brain
Is the way you looked so
Exuberant and jubilant
Explaining supernatural,
Transcendental things.
Like love, laughter and the here ever after
And friendship deeply shared;
You rambled on like a gentle song
Wafting through warm summer air.
While one lasting impression from this nocturnal lesson
Was the importance of searching and reaching
Towards higher places while running hard races
Then awakening
To the light of your teaching.
Although the remainder of my vision lacks precision
Its meaning is crystal clear:
You made an impression on many young minds
And on this one it’s lasted
For years.
