Roulette Poems

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

"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

Vampire Sonnets Xiii Blood Roulette

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

Blazing Roulette

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…

*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

Life's Roulette

verdict awaiting the flip of a coin
withered in cold november winds
your eyes devoid of luster
has life teetering on the edge

a spin of the roulette
straight up
inside bets
against the odds

remind us
the head croupier
up in the sky
is the one
calling all the shots

Fall Roulette

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.

Household Supplies and Grocery Roulette

Since I've turned 3 quarters of a century old
And have a hole in my heart I'm told
Sitting on top of that a small tumor
This definitely isn't a run away rumor  

I am old and slightly fat(well some say obese)
Controlled diabetes on top of that 
Hypertension makes its mark
Sometimes I even seem smart . 

Then

Russian Roulette of the Heart

Load the chamber with your love bullet and spin the cylinder and aim the muzzle at my heart see if when you pull the trigger if everything shatters apart
Every time you fall in love, you’re playing a deadly, foolish game where the bullet could be in the chamber or waiting to be played
Will your heart

Lifes Roulette

Born privileged into great  riches
A pure  accident of your place of birth 
You won at life's roulette. 
No hunger pangs 
or a life cut short. 
you had an education, and a job that pays
No master race 
No grand plan
It's all about your dad and mam.
no privileged earned
just your rights at birth 
when you
