Russian Roulette
Every human thinks they are immortal, It is the wretched curse of all mortals, It’s a constant game of Russian roulette. Now if I was a smart betting woman, I would wager all on meeting death, But I am not a smart betting woman. I am a child in love with playing god, I live in the life unending facade. I fear no...

"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 the tide Roulette (LadyLabyrinth / 2023) ...

Without being able to see his face, I most certainly could hear his low voice; He was beckoning me to come to him, this vampire was the farthest thing from grim; To look upon him you would never guess a killer lurked behind all the kindness; ‘Oh miss Inalem you look so hungry . I bet...

Swept me up into your monstrous whirlwind, accepted me ride or die ‘til the end; From the first glance we were a twirling gun, locked and loaded a menacing weapon; Roulette awoke the soul of a rebel, runaway collision smiled at trouble; Treachery walking hand in hand with bliss, no longer settle for a lukewarm...

Russian Roulette
The sweet release of empty flesh, The curling locks of lady death and her syndicate. Mercy disguised as agony; Agony cloaked as mercy. Eyes not glaring with murderous intent but with immense desolation. The mistress: arousing with the hammer wrapped around her fingers. She draws: the metronome of the nozzle breathing through my ear. I wait for her lecherous urges to define… *click* Her...

*Russian Roulette ** Sitting, bated breath Some calm ,others upset Sweat, on eyebrows and neck We haven’t begun playing yet! Take a breath, take it deep Fear, Timid, ashen,weak Familiar face, scary thought Wait! They’re here it means They never lost! Wondering if We’ll see sunrise As our lives flash before our eyes Mind jumbled, words mumbled Sit still, remain humble. My turn, heavy...

Wayward wind whistles while it weaves A magical maze of colours Through rustling red rampaging leaves, Gems not found in all jewellers, Down they dance on startled strollers; Falling freely in the fast breeze, Garnet gold do a pirouette, Bare branches stick out in tall trees, Creating silent silhouette, Telling it's time for Fall roulette. 10.14.2020 For Francine Roberts' "Autumn" poetry contest...
