The roller-coaster - up, down, and around
Scary - yet exciting
Perilous - yet precious
Sad - yet usually happy
The only way to exist!

I ride the wind like a horse,
And let it lead me on perilous and exciting journeys.
For somewhere at the end I will be able to see and be with you once more.

chilled winds caress bare branches
immobile as cable cords
Dejected minds- Crack
at perilous mothers- Screams

Poet on a Pony,
Traveling up these perilous
winding paths,
To deliver her precious wares
To a sick friend...
Who so anxiously enjoys
her talent and wisdom
Hey, the Pony Express LIves!!!

Holding your heart is
like having an perilous
experiment on
reigniting the
dying sun: it is so hard
and seems entirely
hopeless, yet it's the
last chance of humanity;
it’s still worth fighting for it.

Searing, the sun
no shade on this run
perilous, the wind
eyes let sand in
draining, the humidity
tempting torpidity…
steep hill appears ~
tears, no more gears

Hope is the only thing that lets you live.
For me you are that hope,
The only thing that lets me live.
You are my queen,
You are my castle.
You are the only reason I crossed the perilous path of life
Without any hassle.

<The smooth ink stains bleed a crimson red with each stroke
The pages' colors publish a perilous message against the black granite surface
Black, red, white
Its message is clear
It's time to stop writing

And now we are two otters
Set peacefully adrift
In kelp strands entwined
By anemone gardens
There is just you and me
Upon emerald waters
The simplest gift
Is your hand in mine
And I am safely harbored
From the perilous sea.

Sometimes, the sweetest smile
Can be the most dangerous
It may seem so docile
But tricky and perilous
It can rope the hearts in twine
Or drowse a soul like wine
It can make a cold heart fine
Or slay from behind

EVERYONE HAS A HISTORY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
This Perilous Pilgrimage, Produces Nary a Saint
Time Conceals the Blemished Deeds, Now Faint
Nary a Soul Is Spared from the Indelible Taint
Marooned in Our Conscience, Harboring the Plaint

Mourning
As bereavement cries death's eulogy,
Faithfully God hones ideology.
Just keep love's miraculous notions.
Overcoming perilous qualms.
For God's assurance shall see thee calm.

No mystery is Love
for those who love
once found dearly cherished
no jewel worth its loss
no perilous travel can deter
Love's cross
a mile away
can seem a universe
of distance
Love needing only, deeply caring,
sharing~ faithful participants --

Your touch is
an electric shock
good thing I am not
in a bucket full of water
Your kiss is
a roaring flame
my mouth is filled
with flammable liquid
Your love is
a shaky ladder
I climb to the top
and invite gravity’s
inevitable seduction

REAR VIEW MIRROR
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
Its been a long and perilous journey
All over in such a short time
I find myself yielding the treasures
I once thought were mine
If there’s a heaven
Then surely, there is a hell
Question is “in which shall I dwell”

TOO LITTLE
need end this verse
take the hearse ride...
life... terse when free.
PERILOUS JOURNEY
Lay down and rest
do not jest my
friend... test the way.
CLOUDY
Tender the night
the moon bright as
the sight of... leaves

The journey of perilous seas-
a vessel so grand-
plunging into the darkest abyss-
eagerly searching as the house upon a rock-
Steering true through mutinies,
teetering on the brink of tipping!
Rallying, never to waver again!
Yet another voyage just dawning-forevermore!

Awakening
The dragon eats land
Steps on other people´s right
And we say nothing
Because once it was wronged
Can´t speak ill of the ogre
The dragon spews fire
Over anyone who seeks redress
To get what is theirs
And slowly the world awakes
The monster a perilous fiend
