Winter days
play weather roulette
stuck between
fall and spring
cold, snowy, cool, sunny, mild
till that BLIZZARD comes

Gasp

I celebrate nothing,but I do it
with anonymity and radiance.

sipping vodka,dancing with
leopard clad women.everyday 
is a game of roulette.

Russian Roulette

She's been in incredible pain all day
She would give almost anything to make it go away
If the pain is here to stay
Then Russian Roulette isn't just play

A Winners Statistic

A survey put to a gambling mix,
posed questions on gambling tricks.
It states from the outset,
with Russian roulette,
that it’s safe, claimed by five out of six.

Borealis
  
   Dazzles in hued roulette --
             Tinsels gushing in full glory

  Then,  like cosmic whirlind
           ...She fades gently

Premium Member A Stung Out Gambler

A high stakes gambler who lives in Marquette
is in Nevada alone and in debt
Now homeless in Reno
behind a casino
he craves just one more game of roulette

Lady Luck

luck smiles at me playing
playing the slot machines from hell
the numbers are turning out 
luck smiles at me 
the numbers turning up
roulette
black, red odd
numbers
hot

Premium Member Thought of the day

we form a habit and then break it
diving in deeper next time
just for the thrill

how bored we must be to so indulge
it’s like playing Russian roulette
sooner or later we’ll lose

Premium Member Paulette1

I could never forget Paulette
Around and around the wheel would go
But sadly her game was not roulette
Each spin brought her nothing but woe
Black Jack would have paid her debt...

Maybe!

Premium Member Tables

craps, blackjack, baccarat, the big six wheel, roulette, poker, pai gow, Spanish blackjack. These are the tables where you lose money. In casinos are where you will find them.

Premium Member Kisses

So many empty kisses;
People taste you, and forget;
 Meaningless soft caresses
all hearts and Russian roulette; 
Why not touch the one you miss?
Fear is the edge of freedom, 
Try kissing who’s in your head.

Don'T Look Under the Bed

The darker part of my thoughts. 
2am demons out to play.
Challenge my sanity.
A tantalizing game of Russian Roulette. 
I thought only the strong survive,
But why is the darkness winning?
Six shots and my sanity is dead.

Darkness Is the Key

Shh.
Don't say a word.
Silent.
Darkness is the key.
Russian roulette.
Pick your poison. 
My bottle.
Your gun.
Shoot me.
The magazine is full.
I know.
So I choose the first shot.
End of the barrel.
My forehead.
Bang.

The Masquerade

Through a bullet point
A harpoon was sharpened
By boom
In gloom

Switch on the button
You jump
I jump 
Into a Russian roulette

You look at me
I look at you
Cross one’s arms
Under arms
Sit together
With the masquerade

With hope to win, Paulette
Tried her luck at the roulette
Lost the last penny that night
Broke down for the sad plight
Tears that rolled on cheeks wet
She could not ever forget.

Life's Roulette

It could have been me
 whose brains got blown off today.

And it could have been you
 wasted in that high-rise inferno.

But neither one of us,
 at least not yet, vaporized as gas.
 
So let us be merry, drink!
 when it comes, smile, don't blink.

Play On Words

Thoughts of death.
Life roulette.

Play with fire.
With ones desire.

Beyond the norm.
Not to conform.

Quiet, Talk.
Quick-witted, jabberwock.

Past, present.
future judgement.

Chained domain.
Free reign.

Love to hate.
Soul checkmate.

Premium Member Double Edged Sword

had coffee with a colleague
he was young and eager
wanted to play Russian roulette 
because his resources were meagre

the universe conspires with us
granting us whatever we wish
but if fear and doubt makes us blink
boons granted are gone in a swish

Afraid of Trump Golden Showers

Afraid of Trump Golden Showers

Trump put off things  and them he delayed,
Doing and all his supporters were dismayed;
Golden shower let,
Then bed  did wet;
All of them are worried while being afraid.

The Rebel

Was there ever a rebel
  on the inside looking out

By definition he’s outside
  —his legend to shout

The insurgent, his tactic
  playing Russian Roulette

Holding the status quo hostage
  —with fear and regret

Premium Member Roulette

Money talks. Place your bets right up here. The numbers start with double zero. Then they will go all the way up to thirty-six. What you see here gives you a good variety. You can make bets on odd or even. The first or second half. Red or black.

Empty Man

Russian roulette
was his game
of choice

every night 
he pulled the
trigger

He killed
compassion

He killed
trust

He killed
forgiveness

He killed
love

Night
after night
he remained
free

He always
aimed
at the hole

where a heart
used to be

PRIMED

a call for their heads
illogical conclusion
jagged and precise

mirror of confusion
a degree of highest price
vanity spins webs

mob insurrection
pointed every direction
russian roulette cocks*

Premium Member OBSESSION

Obsession is blood-kin to poison,
Beneath the beautiful cloisonné 
Simmers the need to possess
Even as she sighs regret,
Savoring the movement of roulette~
Spin the wheel; yes or no,
Insert the bullet he won’t know,
Or does he see before too late:
Never turn down Vampire’s date!
