darkened moon
filthy room

five fast bullets
locked and loaded

perilous inches
from my head

fate is held
by my true loves' hand...

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

Exceeding

Now

he's
feeling,
aspiring— 
Full
roarings,
pumping

adrenalin
in
blood— 
Perilous

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...

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,
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....

Premium Member 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....

To Climb a Mountain


                      Snow capped mountains...Ascending to the skies

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....

A Perilous Limerick

Young Bond, with a briefcase so grand,
Said, "This train ride's a perilous stand!"
With SPECTRE's sharp schemes,
And fights in his dreams,
"That chess match? A bit out of hand!"

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

Time Conceals the Blemished Deeds, Now Faint
Nary a Soul Is Spared from the Indelible Taint
