filthy room

five fast bullets
locked and loaded

from my head

fate is held
by my true loves' hand

Lifee's That Way

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

A Physician's Analysis

   Paralysis of the esophagus
     when occasioned by asparagus
 
   Can be frighteningly perilous
     and even worse, embarrass us

Buried 'Neath Pleasure

Ferocious jungle predators

  Perilous mountain passes

Raging waters o'er stormy seas

  For aye buried 'neath pleasure

I Ride

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.

Dejected Minds

Dark clouds cloak my mind
chilled winds caress bare branches
immobile as cable cords

Dejected minds- Crack
at perilous mothers- Screams
then crying- she threatens peace

Walking Dead

Debilitating Despair-
Tortured Tirelessly-
Rotten Rebellion-
Perilous Pain-
Skipping Survival-
Needless Nothings-
Eyes fixed in a Black Haze-
Used Goods-
Hidden Hope-

Poet On a Pony

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!!!

Sunshine

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.

The Joy of Running

    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

Only reason, you

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 Last Stroke

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

To Climb a Mountain

To Climb a Mountain


                      Snow capped mountains...Ascending to the skies
                                    Perilous journey...Hard fought
                                    Gods' grace awaits...Praise him

Two Otters

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.

Smile

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

EVERYONE HAS A HISTORY

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

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.

Those Who Love

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 --

Perilous

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

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”

Than Bauk Poetry

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 Life of a Land Lover

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

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
